Francisco Jiménez Tejada (born 26 June 1986), known as Xisco, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Thai club Muangthong United FC.
After making a name for himself with Deportivo de La Coruña, he signed in 2008 with Newcastle United, but he could only amass 11 official appearances for the club during his spell (one goal), also being loaned several times during his contract. He left in January 2013 and returned to his country, going on to spend four seasons with Córdoba and promote to La Liga in 2013–14.
Xisco participated with Spain at the 2009 European Under-21 Championship.
A product of Deportivo de La Coruña's youth ranks, Xisco was born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands, and he made his La Liga debut on 26 April 2005 against Real Sociedad. His first (and second) goal arrived also that season, in a 2–2 away draw against Real Zaragoza on 15 May.
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 matches: a hat-trick in a 3–1 home win against Real Murcia on 30 March 2008, adding two at Racing de Santander (same result) the following week.
