Vigo (prononcé en galicien : /ˈbi.ɣʊ/ ; en espagnol : /ˈbi.ɣo/) est une ville de la province de Pontevedra, dans la communauté autonome de Galice, en Espagne. C'est la commune la plus peuplée de Galice avec 293 642 habitants en 2018 d'après l'Institut national de la statistique espagnol (INE). Un tiers de la population vit en zone rurale. La ville est la deuxième plus peuplée de la communauté autonome après La Corogne (198 537 habitants contre 213 418 habitants). Elle est située au bord de l'océan Atlantique et c'est un important port de pêche. L'Union européenne, ayant institué en avril 2005 l'Agence communautaire de contrôle des pêches, a choisi Vigo pour en abriter le siège.
