Fafá de Belém, born Maria de Fátima Palha de Figueiredo in Belém, Pará on August 9, 1956, is a Brazilian singer considered one of the great female voices of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB).

She took her stage name from the city of her birth. In addition to a successful recording career that spans over three decades, she has been regarded as one of the great sex symbols of Brazilian pop music. Her husky Contralto voice is known for its extensive emotional range, from tender ballads and sensual love songs to Portuguese fados, energetic sambas and even lambadas.
