"Día de Enero" (Spanish for January Day) is the third single released from Shakira's 2005 album Fijación Oral 1, following "La Tortura" and "No".

Written and composed by Shakira herself, "Día de Enero" is a love song that tells about how she met her former boyfriend, Antonio de la Rúa on a January day. The song also makes reference to two famous comics characters "Mutt and Jeff" known in Spanish as "Eneas and Benitín."

The music video for the song shows Shakira walking along a beach at sunset. She also draws a heart in the sand with the letters "S y A" symbolising her love for her former fiancée, Antonio de la Rúa. It was directed by "No" and "Don't Bother" director, Jaume de Laiguana. This video can be seen on Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2 Bonus DVD, and the Spanish edition of Oral Fixation Tour.

The song peaked within the Top 40 in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart. The song fared well elsewhere, especially in South America.
