Francisco Javier Fernández Peláez (born 6 March 1977 in Guadix, Province of Granada, Andalusia), better known as Paquillo Fernández, is a retired Spanish race walker. He specialized in the 20 km race walk.

On 27 July 2008 he set a new 10-km race walk world record at the Spanish Championships in a time of 37:53.09.

Fernández was made ineligible for competitions for two years after he was found guilty of possessing performance-enhancing drugs in February 2010.
