Vidigal is a neighborhood and also a favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Vidigal overlooks Ipanema Beach (Portuguese: Praia de Ipanema) and Ilhas Cagarras. It is located in the South Zone of Rio, between Leblon and São Conrado neighborhoods.

In November 2011, Vidigal and its neighboring community, Rocinha, were pacified by the Pacifying Police Unit.

The Vidigal favela is located at the base of "Morro Dois Irmãos" (English: Two Brothers Hill). Morro Dois Irmãos has served as inspiration for a song by Chico Buarque.
