Vicente Fernández (born Vicente Fernández Gómez on February 17, 1940) is a Mexican ranchero singer. He is the father of Alejandro Fernández, also a popular mexican artist.

In his native Mexico, Vicente Fernández is hailed as the "king of the rancheros." He was born and raised in Huentitlan del Alto, Jalisco, Mexico to a poor family and had to work since his childhood to maintain himself. Vicente got his start when he won a Guadalajara singing contest; he and his ranchera music have become most popular in Latin America and in Spain. In 1995, his tribute to Mexico's beloved Trio Los Panchos, Recordando A Los Panchos, earned him considerable acclaim and produced two major hits, "Miseria" and "No, No, Y No."
