"El Rey" (English: "The King") is a 1971 song by José Alfredo Jiménez. It is one of his best known songs and a Latin Grammy Hall of Fame Award recipient. The song is about "a macho guy convinced his rough-and-tumble life doesn't preclude him from remaining the king among his peers". A chart published by Record World credited "El Rey" as reaching number one in Mexico in 1974, a year after Jiménez's death. The song has been recorded by several artists including Vicente Fernández whose version peaked at number 40 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.

In 2022, American singer Christina Aguilera released "La Reina" (transl. "The Queen") from her ninth studio and second Spanish-language album, Aguilera (2022) as a "respectful response" to Fernández' version of "El Rey". In her version, Aguilera emphasizes how a king will always be a king, but that he's nothing without his queen. Aguilera's rendition received acclaim. (en)
