Fabián Peña González (born 19 June 1973) is a Mexican former footballer who played as a midfielder.

A product of the Tigres UANL youth system, playing his debut during the 1995-96 season, Peña spent a total of six years at the club before a move to Mexico City-based Necaxa at the turn of the 21st century. After a brief return to Monterrey (this time with UANL Tigres' chief rivals - CF Monterrey) in 2002, Peña returned to Necaxa, which had since found a new home in Aguascalientes. In 2006, the 33-year-old made a high-profile move to Necaxa's sister club, Club América. Peña was able to join the ten-time league champion side prior to the Apertura 2006 season due to the departures of midfielders Pável Pardo and Francisco Torres to Germany's VfB Stuttgart and Santos Laguna, respectively.
