Fidela Magpayo Reyes (October 29, 1920 – September 1, 2008), commonly known as Tiya Dely ("Aunt Dely"), was a Filipino radio broadcaster known for her counseling programs. She debuted in the 1950s and was among the first wave of broadcasters who popularized Filipino music. In contrast, American music still dominated the Philippine airwaves following the country's liberation from the United States.

Magpayo was also a newscaster, commentator, radio dramatist, writer, and producer during her time. She came to be recognized as the "First Lady of Philippine Radio" due to her prominence in the broadcasting industry.
