Fernanda Barbosa Takai (Portuguese pronunciation: [feʁˈnɐ̃dɐ taˈkaj]; born 25 August 1971) is a Brazilian singer, better known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of rock band Pato Fu. She has also been working on a solo career since 2007.

In 2011, she collaborated with Atom™, Toshiyuki Yasuda and Moreno Veloso on the track "Águas de Março" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album Red Hot + Rio 2. The album is a follow-up to the 1996 Red Hot + Rio. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues.
