María Isabel Fernández Suárez (born 10 March 1980) is a Bolivian journalist and politician who served as minister of communication from January to June 2020.

Fernández attended the Bolivian Catholic University, where she initially majored in medicine before switching to communication studies, inspired by her mother's staff work for Radio Pío XII.

[4][5] Fernández remained in her post until 4 June, when the Áñez administration announced its decision to abolish three ministries—communication, cultures, and sports—and two embassies in order to conserve public resources in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Upon being sworn in, Fernández committed to "[ensuring] strict compliance with access to information, its transparent management, and freedom of expression" in her new post.

In her letter of resignation, Fernández stated that "all these months were very complex, but the satisfaction of duty fulfilled with commitment and loyalty to ... the country remains".
