Don Cheto (born 1942 in the Municipality of Zamora de Hidalgo, as "El Hombre del Vozarrón" ("the loud-voiced man"), is a fictional Mexican American radio and television personality widely known in Mexican American pop culture.

Don Cheto also makes an appearance in Grand Theft Auto V as himself, alongside the Mexican Institute of Sound, in the radio station East Los FM.
Don Cheto music albums include Piporreando, and El Hombre del vozarrón. He released a music video parody of Gangnam Style featuring East LA gangster stereotypes.
