Bienvenido Fabian (March 20, 1920 in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic – November 23, 2000 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) was a composer from the Dominican Republic during the era of the dictator Rafael Trujillo.

Don Fabian composed famous ballads and Afro-Cuban music such as "Dos Alma" and "Tuya, Y Mas Que Tuya" made famous by the combo orchestra La Sonora Matancera and Celia Cruz throughout the 1950s and 1970s. Many compare the collaboration of the group La Sonora Matancera & Celia Cruz with Fabian to the likes of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
