The Goya Award for Best Ibero-American Film (es|Goya a la Mejor Película Iberoamericana|links=no), formerly the Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film (es|Goya a la Mejor Película Extranjera de Habla Hispana|links=no, 1987–2008) and the Goya Award for Best Hispanic American Film (es|Goya a la Mejor Película Hispanoamericana|links=no, 2009–2010), is one of the Goya Awards, Spain's principal national film awards. The category has been presented ever since the first edition of the Goya Awards with the exception of the third edition where it was not awarded. Carlos Sorín's A King and His Movie was the first winner of this award representing Argentina.
The submission of a film to this category in representation of Portugal is not compatible with a submission of said film to the Best European Film award category. Regarding the films with both a Spanish share and a (non-Spanish) Ibero-American share of the production, leading producers are required to choose between opting for this category or the Best Film category.[1]
Argentina has received the most awards and nominations in this category with 19 wins and 30 nominations, Chile follows the most wins with 6 while Mexico and Chile follow the most nominations with 21. Goya winning films The Secret in Their Eyes (2009), A Fantastic Woman (2017) and Roma (2018) have won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film representing Argentina, Chile and Mexico respectively, with the latter also being nominated for Best Picture and winning Best Director.
Argentine director Eduardo Mignogna is the most awarded director in this category, winning for Autumn Sun (1996), The Lighthouse (1998) and La fuga (2001), while the most nominated directors in this category are Peruvian director Francisco José Lombardi, nominated for Fallen from Heaven (1990), Without Compassion (1994), Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (2000) and Black Butterfly (2007) and Chilean director Andrés Wood, nominated for Machuca (2004), The Good Life (2008), Violeta Went to Heaven (2011) and Spider (2019), with four nominations each.
