José Ignacio Fernández Palacios (born 3 February 1967), known as Nacho, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back.

His entire professional career was associated to Celta and Compostela. He appeared in 198 La Liga games over the course of eight seasons, scoring four goals.

Born in Foz, Province of Lugo, Nacho played his entire career in his native Galicia. He signed in 1986 with Celta de Vigo from amateurs Gran Peña FC, making his first-team debuts in Segunda División and contributing with 20 games (15 starts) as the club promoted to La Liga.

Nacho played his first match in the top level on 6 September 1987, featuring ten minutes in a 3–3 home draw against Valencia CF and finishing the season with 18 appearances in an eventual seventh-place finish. He continued to be regularly used in the following years, being relegated in 1990 but gaining promotion in 1992, even though he was only a fringe player in the latter campaign.

In the 1992 off-season Nacho joined SD Compostela in the second level, playing 20 matches in his second year as the club promoted for the first time in its history to the top flight. From 1995 to 1998 he appeared in average of 35 league contests, with the team being relegated at the end of the 1997–98 season.
