Enrico de Jesus Puno (13 February 1953 – 30 October 2018), better known as Rico J. Puno, was a Filipino singer, television host, actor, comedian, and politician. He was considered as a music icon in the Philippines. He started the trend of incorporating Tagalog lyrics in his rendition of the American song The Way We Were and other foreign songs. Puno was known as a singer who regularly infused his on-stage performance with tongue-in-cheek comedy and adult humor.

In his prolific singing career, Rico J. had been credited with having 21 LPs (combined studio, live, and compilation albums) – not to mention his numerous (various artists) compilation, as well as soundtrack, appearances.

Puno died of heart failure on 30 October 2018, in St. Luke's Medical Center – Global City. He was 65. He was laid to rest at The Heritage Park in Taguig.
