Adrià Díaz (born 17 September 1990) is a Spanish ice dancer who skates with Olivia Smart. With former partner Sara Hurtado, he is a four-time Spanish national champion and has won four senior international medals. Hurtado and Diaz were the first dance team to represent Spain in ISU competition and the first to qualify for the Olympics.

Adrià Díaz was born September 17, 1990 in Barcelona. He studied sports science at university. Although he competes as Adrià Díaz, he prefers to be called Adrian or Adri.

Adrià Díaz started skating in 1995. After skating in singles, he decided to switch to ice dance and approached Sara Hurtado to propose a partnership. The Spanish skating federation hired coach John Dunn to develop an ice dancing program in Madrid in early 2008.

Hurtado/Díaz began competing in the 2008–09 season. Their first major international event was the 2009 World Junior Championships where they finished 32nd. The next season, they competed in two events on the Junior Grand Prix circuit and finished 16th at Junior Worlds.

During the 2010–2011 season, Hurtado/Díaz competed on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, while also taking part in several senior internationals. They finished 15th at the 2011 European Championships, won a bronze medal at the Bavarian Open, and finished fourth at the Winter Universiade. They moved up to ninth at Junior Worlds. They went on to their first senior Worlds, where they qualified for the short dance out of the preliminary round but were unable to reach the free dance portion of the event.
