Emilio Fede (born 24 June 1931) is an Italian anchorman, journalist and writer.

He spent part of his youth living in nearby San Piero Patti.

He started his career in the Italian public broadcasting company (RAI) in the early 1950s, and went on to become one of the most popular faces in its news dominant TV market share in Italy.

Fede is, at present, indicted for favouring prostitution of a minor in the framework of the so-called Rubygate scandal.

He was found guilty of pocketing 1.1 million euros that were supposed to be used to prevent Lele Mora's agency from going bankrupt.
