Francisco Jiménez Tejada, aka Xisco (born June 26, 1986 in Palma de Mallorca), is a Spanish football striker. He plays for Deportivo de La Coruña. He is one day older than namesake Xisco Nadal (no relation), formerly of Villarreal CF and youngest goalscorer ever in a first division match in Spain.
Xisco made his La Liga debut on April 26, 2005, against Real Sociedad. His first (and second) goal arrived also that season, in a 2-2 draw with Real Zaragoza, on May 15.
In 2007-08, after a season-long loan at Segunda División's UD Vecindario, Xisco emerged as a top-flight striker, scoring five goals in two consecutive matches: a hat-trick in a 3-1 home win against Real Murcia, adding two away to Racing Santander (same result).
