Fray Mocho was an Argentine weekly magazine that published general interest topics. Its first number was published on May 3, 1912, with historian and journalist Carlos Correa Luna being its first director. Fray Mocho's staff included former collaborators of Caras y Caretas who had left the magazine in disagreement with its editorial line.
The magazine was named after José Sixto Álvarez (1858–1903), writer and journalist who was notable for his humorous texts, apart from having been the founder of Caras y Caretas. Fray Mocho published 196 issues until its closure in 1929.
