Protagonistas... aka Protagonistas de Novela, Protagonistas de la Música, Protagonistas de la Fama, is a Spanish reality television franchise. It broadcasts in Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, and Latin communities in the United States.

The game format is similar to Big Brother, or Operación Triunfo (Star Academy) where a group of anonymous people competes in an isolated house to win a contract with a record company, or a TV channel.

Currently, there are 28 winners of the Protagonistas format. The most recent winner is Laura Alemán from Puerto Rico.
