Fabricio Fabio Fuentes (born 13 October 1976) is an Argentine retired footballer who plays as a central defender.
He competed professionally, other than in his country, in France, Mexico and Spain, amassing Primera División totals of 218 games and 18 goals over the course of ten seasons.
Fuentes was born in Río Cuarto, Córdoba. He began his career playing for Newell's Old Boys in 1996, leaving the following year for Quilmes Atlético Club in the Argentine second division before rejoining Newell's in 1998.
In 2001, Fuentes was signed for his first spell at Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield, on a US$450,000 fee (for 50% of his transfer rights). In January 2003 he was sold to Mexican club Querétaro F.C. for US$1,200,000 but, in the transfer agreement, it was established that the player would stay with Vélez until the end of the season.
However, after a good last months as Vélez's captain, Fuentes' value increased, and he was immediately sold by Querétaro to En Avant Guingamp for US$2,000,000, before having playing any official game in Mexico. After half a season in France he returned to Vélez, helping the team win the league's Clausura in 2005.
