Roberto Fabelo (born 1951 Camagüey, Cuba) is a contemporary Cuban artist. He is both a painter and illustrator.

Born in Guáimaro, Camagüey, Fabelo studied at The National Art School and at the Superior Art Institute of Havana. He was a professor and a jury member for very important national and international visual arts contests. The Cuban state awarded him a medal for National Culture and the Alejo Carpentier medal for his outstanding artistic career.

His work is exhibited at the Museo Nacionalde Bellas Artes in Havana, and in the Cuban embassy in Mexico.

His 2009 sculpture, entitled Survival, a group of human-headed cockroaches, can be found climbing one of the walls of the Havana Fine Arts Museum. He also illustrated a 2007 edition of Gabriel García Márquez's novel Cien años de soledad.

He was described in the Dallas Morning News in 2002 as "one of Cuba's premier artists", with high demand for his paintings in the United States and elsewhere.
