Emilio Ruiz Muñoz (1874–1936) was a Spanish Roman-Catholic priest and press commentator, known mostly by his pen-name Fabio. Since 1913 he served as a canon by the Málaga cathedral, though from 1920 onwards the role was rather titular, as he resided mostly in Madrid. Between 1906 and 1936 he contributed some 3,000 articles to the Traditionalist daily El Siglo Futuro, and became recognized as a point of reference for intransigent, militant, ultra-right Catholicism. Politically until the early 1930s he supported Integrism; afterwards he retained the Integrist outlook, but operated within the united Carlist structures and emerged as one of key Carlist intellectuals of the mid-1930s.
