Fábio Henrique Tavares (born 23 October 1993), commonly known as Fabinho, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a right back or as a defensive midfielder for French Ligue 1 club Monaco and the Brazil national team.
Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Fabinho began his career at Fluminense. He was called into a first team matchday squad for the only time on 20 May 2012, as he was an unused substitute in the 1–0 win at Corinthians for the season's Série A. He left the club without making an appearance.
On 8 June 2012, Fabinho joined Primeira Liga side Rio Ave on a six-year deal. After one month at Rio Ave, Fabinho joined Real Madrid Castilla on a season-long loan deal on 19 July. He made his professional debut on 17 August, as the Segunda División season began, playing 90 minutes in the 2–1 defeat at Villarreal. On 28 April 2013, he scored his first goal, heading an added-time equaliser for a 3–3 draw at CD Numancia.
He made his debut for Real Madrid on 8 May 2013, playing 14 minutes in place of Fábio Coentrão and assisting the sixth goal by Ángel Di María in the 6–2 La Liga victory over Málaga at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
