Basilio Vadillo (14 July 1885, Zapotlán, Jalisco, Mexico – 25 July 1935, Montevideo, Uruguay) was an educator and politician who served briefly as Governor of the Mexican State of Jalisco (1921–22). He was born in Zapotlán, Jal. (since renamed Zapotitlán de Vadillo), and as a young boy moved to Colima. He worked as a teacher in Colima and served as the director of the Ramón R. de la Vega school. After Victoriano Huerta's 1913 coup (the overthrowing Madero's government), Vadillo joined a group of students from Colima to fight at Mazatlán on the side of the revolutionaries trying to end Huerta's dictatorship.
