Manuel Fernández Caballero (Murcia, 14 March 1835 - Madrid, 26 February 1906) was a Spanish composer, notably of zarzuelas.
His works were seminal works in the young género chico form of zarzuela. The success of Los bandos de villafrita (1884) consolidated his career. Its sequel was Las grandes figuras (1885). The sainete El dúo de La Africana and its celebrated jota No cantes más La Africana remain as classic examples of a zarzuela duette.
