Carlos Fuentes Macías (Ciudad de Panamá, 11 de noviembre de 1928-Ciudad de México, 15 de mayo de 2012) fue un escritor mexicano. Junto a Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa y Julio Cortázar, es uno de los exponentes centrales del llamado boom latinoamericano. Entre sus novelas destacan La región más transparente, La muerte de Artemio Cruz y Aura. Recibió, entre otros, el Premio Rómulo Gallegos en 1977, el Cervantes en 1987 y el Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras en 1994. Hasta el día de su fallecimiento fue considerado candidato para obtener el Premio Nobel de Literatura por un sector del público y de la crítica literaria.


Carlos Fuentes Macías (November 11, 1928 – May 15, 2012) was a Mexican novelist and essayist. Among his works are The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975), The Old Gringo (1985) and Christopher Unborn (1987). In his obituary, The New York Times described Fuentes as "one of the most admired writers in the Spanish-speaking world" and an important influence on the Latin American Boom, the "explosion of Latin American literature in the 1960s and '70s". He was often named as a likely candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, though he never won.
