"El Rey" ("The King") is a 1971 song by Mexican singer José Alfredo Jiménez. It is one of his best known songs and a Latin Grammy Hall of Fame recipient.[1][2][3][4] The song is about "a macho guy convinced his rough-and-tumble life doesn't preclude him from remaining the king among his peers".[3]

A chart published by Record World credited "El Rey" as reaching number one in Mexico in 1974,[5] a year after Jiménez's death.

"El Rey" remains a staple of Ranchera and traditional Mexican music. The song has been covered by various artists, including Vicente Fernández - often considered the most well-known version of "El Rey" - his son Alejandro Fernández, Luis Miguel, and Maná.
