Vecinos (English title: Neighbors) is a 2008 Colombian produced telenovela and broadcast by the Caracol TV. Vecinos made its debut on September 1, 2008. The telenovela has finished its run on Telefutura on May 3, 2010 in the United States. Re-broadcasts of the show were being shown on U.S. broadcaster Unimas (which was previously called Telefutura). It is commonly shown in Spanish classes to help the students learn better Spanish.

In this Colombian telenovela, a humble man named Oscar (Róbinson Díaz) is deeply in love with his neighbor Tatiana (Flora Martinez), despite the fact that they are of different social classes. This gives the name of the novela (Vecinos-Neighbors). During the novela, however, an ambitious woman named Jessica (Sara Corrales) is trying to get married to Oscar because of his money when he won the lottery. She acts nice to him, since she is Oscar's girlfriend, but would not be so nice if Oscar didn't have money. Oscar finds people who don't like him during the way, like Jessica's boss and lover Rodolfo (Luis Mesa) and many of his neighbors. His mother (Maria Margarita Giraldo) and friends, however, help him along the way nonetheless. In the end, all the barriers are cleared, and Oscar and Tatiana live happily ever after.

On its first episode Vecinos brought a 15.2% rating (49.7 share), which made it the most watched premiere of 2008. On March 26, 2009, Vecinos got a 16.3% rating (50.1 share) making it the most-watched TV Show of the year so far.
