Josep Vallverdú i Aixalà (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛb ˌbaʎβəɾˈðu]; born 1923) is a Catalan poet, novelist, playwright, linguist and essayist. Vallverdú was born in Lleida in 1923. His narrative Rovelló served as basis for a TV-series in TV3 (Catalonia). His works, rich in vocabulary, have been widely used in the Catalan classrooms. Vallverdú won in 1982 the National Spanish Prize in Children's Literature.

In this Catalan name, the first or paternal surname is Vallverdú and the second or maternal family name is Aixalà; both are generally joined by the conjunction "i".
