Ramón Martínez Fernández (14 October 1909 – 10 February 1990), better known as Ramón Evaristo, was a Spanish bandleader and violinist based in Barcelona. In the 1940s and 1950s, his orchestra was one of the most popular ballroom music ensembles in Catalonia, playing jazz, pasodobles and Latin American music such as rhumba and tango.

As a composer, Evaristo wrote several popular songs, particularly fox-trots.
