Fábio Santos (born April 4, 1956) is a red and black belt instructor in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Santos graduated with a BA in physical education from the Universidade Gama Filho.

Upon immigrating to the United States, Santos taught in Rorion Gracie's academy in Torrance, California. He later opened his own academy in San Diego, California.

In the early UFC events, Santos can be seen ringside with the Gracie family and Pedro Sauer, most notably in UFC 3 when he entered the ring to yell at Joe Son who had been taunting the corner after a fatigued and dehydrated Royce Gracie defeated Joe's friend, Kimo Leopoldo.

Fabio Santos is featured in MMA Sports magazine, where he has a column called Jiu-Jitsu 101.

Many people believe that Dean Lister received his black belt from Santos, since Santos was Dean's Jiu-Jitsu instructor up to Dean's brown belt. However, Santos's black belt student Jeffrey Higgs actually gave Dean his black belt.
