XENAC (La Voz de los Chontales – "The Voice of the Chontals") was an indigenous community radio station that broadcast in Spanish and Chontal Maya from Nacajuca in the Mexican state of Tabasco. It was run by the National Indigenist Institute (INI).

It ceased broadcasting in 1990 under Governor Salvador Neme Castillo, was closed in 2000 under Governor Roberto Madrazo Pintado, and its licence was cancelled in 2001 under Governor Enrique Priego Oropeza. César Manuel Santos Fajardo of the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco in Villahermosa claims the closure was due to political upheaval in the state caused by the emergence of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).Media in Tabasco, Mexico
