Elvis González Valencia (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈelβis ɣonˈsales βaˈlenθja]; born 12 October 1980 or 18 March 1979), commonly referred to by his alias El Elvis (Spanish pronunciation: [el ˈelβis]), is a Mexican suspected drug lord and high-ranking leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and Los Cuinis, two allied criminal groups based in Jalisco. He was reportedly responsible for managing international drug trafficking operations and money laundering schemes under his brother Abigael González Valencia (alias "El Cuini") and brother-in-law Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (alias "El Mencho").

On 2 January 2016, González Valencia registered at a hospital in Zapopan, Jalisco, using fake identification after suffering several gunshot wounds. He was later arrested there and imprisoned at the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1, Mexico's maximum-security prison. He was released in December 2016 after a judge concluded that the evidence against him was insufficient. However, he was later rearrested and was sent back to the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1.
