Fernando González Ochoa, was a Colombian writer and existentialist philosopher known as "el filósofo de Otraparte".

González is considered one of the most original writers of Colombia during the 20th century. His ideas were controversial and had a great influence in the Colombian society at his time and still today. González work inspired Nadaism, a literary and cultural movement founded by Gonzalo Arango and some other writers, poets and painters that surrounded him.

His house was declared a National Patrimony of Colombia in 2006.
