Diego is a Spanish masculine given name, possibly a shortened form of Santiago; in medieval records it was Latinized as Didacus, and it has been suggested that it derives from the Greek διδαχή (didache), meaning "teaching".

Its onomastics is disputed, with two major origin hypotheses: Tiago and Didacus.
