Fernando Horacio Ávalos (born 31 March 1978) is a former Argentine professional footballer who played as a central defender.
He spent most of his career in Portugal, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 187 games and three goals over the course of eight seasons, mainly in representation of Nacional (four years). He also had spells in five other countries, his own notwithstanding.
Born in Posadas, Misiones Province, Ávalos started his professional career with Club Atlético Nueva Chicago then moved, in his country, to Club Atlético Huracán and Club Social, Deportivo y Cultural Español. His first abroad experience arrived in 2000, with Brazil's Sport Club Corinthians Paulista.
After splitting the 2000–01 season with Corinthians and FC Basel, Ávalos found stability in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, playing two years with Boavista F.C. and four-and-a-half at Madeira's C.D. Nacional. He appeared in two UEFA Cup editions with the latter.
In January 2008, Ávalos moved to Germany with MSV Duisburg, not being able to help his new team prevent relegation from the Bundesliga. Released in December he returned to Portugal to sign with C.F. Os Belenenses, where he met the same fate; at the end of the campaign he moved to Cyprus, with Nea Salamis Famagusta FC.
