World number two Nadal lost six games in a row in the first set but came back superbly to win a high-class encounter 1-6 6-4 6-1 7-6 (7-0) in Seville.
The victory was his 16th straight win in Davis Cup singles on clay and gave the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead.
It secured Spain's fifth Davis Cup title and their third in four years, while Argentina have yet to win it.
A strangely out-of-sorts Nadal won the first game but Del Potro battled his way back into the match and dominated the Spaniard's serve to take the opening set to the delight of the Argentine fans in the 28,000 Olympic Stadium arena.
