Fernando García Roel (14 August 1921 – 26 February 2009) was a Mexican chemical engineer. He served as the second rector of the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM, 1960–1984).

García Roel was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, into a family composed by Mario A. García and María Roel,[1] sister of prominent historian Santiago Roel.[3] He received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (1943) and a master's degree in the same discipline from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1948).[4]

In 1966 he was given the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Distinguished Service Award[5] and in 1984 the Víctor Márquez Domínguez Prize of the Mexican Institute of Chemical Engineers.[6] He was conferred an honorary doctorate by the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1979.[7]

One of the streets crossing the main campus of the Monterrey Institute of Technology is named in his honor.[8]
