    Horacio Armando de la Peña (born 1 August 1966[1]), nicknamed "el Pulga" ("the Flea"),[6] is a tennis coach and a former tennis player from Argentina, who reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 31.[1]

    De la Peña was born in Buenos Aires. He began playing on the ATP circuit professionally in 1984, when he was 17.[1] He won four ATP World Tour titles in his career, all of which were on clay.[7] He also won six doubles titles – five on clay.[7]

    De la Peña is most well known as the former coach of Chilean Fernando González.[8] He was also considered the unofficial captain of the Chilean Davis Cup team.[8][9]

    As well as González, de la Peña has coached other tennis players, like Franco Squillari,[10] Martín Rodríguez,[11] Guillermo Coria,[12] and a number of other Chilean and Argentine tennis players.

    De la Peña currently runs occasional tennis clinics in Santiago, Chile, and has his own tennis academy.[9]
