Bayani Flores Fernando (Tagalog: [bɐˈjɐnɪ ˈflɔrɛs fɛɾˈnɐndɔ]; July 25, 1946 – September 22, 2023) was a Filipino politician, businessman, and professional mechanical engineer. He served as the Mayor of Marikina from 1992 to 2001. During the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, he served as Chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) from 2002 to 2009 and Secretary of Public Works and Highways from January to April 2003. He was a candidate for vice president of the Philippines in the 2010 elections as the running mate of Dick Gordon.
