Nacho Vidal (born Ignacio Jordà González December 30, 1973, in Mataró, Catalonia, Spain) is a Spanish pornographic actor. He is a protégé of Rocco Siffredi, who brought him to Hollywood in 1998. Unlike his mentor, Vidal sometimes acts in submissive ways, i.e. being slapped by female actresses during intercourse, a difference that becomes clear in the movie "Rocco Siffredi vs. Nacho Vidal".

After a difficult childhood (the family's finances collapsed following the 1973 oil crisis) and an adolescent flirtation with various drugs, he enlisted in the Spanish Legion in Melilla. Later, he was initiated in the world of pornography at the age of 21 in the room Bagdad of Barcelona, where he proceeded to carry out sexual acts in front of a camera with his girlfriend in order to persuade her to give up her job as a prostitute. There he met the director of the Erotic Film Festival of Barcelona, José María Ponce, who introduced him into the world of pornographic cinematography.
