Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra (born February 3, 1946, Mexico City) is a Mexican drummer, best known as a longtime member of Canned Heat.
De la Parra began playing drums in Bluesberry Jam which eventually turned into Pacific Gas & Electric. In 1967, he replaced Canned Heat's original drummer, Frank Cook and played his first gig with the band on December 1, 1967. He joined in time for their second album, Boogie with Canned Heat, and has played on every subsequent album up to present day.
He is the only member of the 1960s Canned Heat line-up that tours with the current version, although Larry Taylor and Harvey Mandel make occasional appearances. He has written a book about the band called Living the Blues.
