Diego Vásquez (born 3 July 1971 in San Martín, Argentina) is a retired football player who currently serves as coach for C.D. Motagua in the Honduran Liga Nacional.

Nicknamed Barbie, Vásquez played most of his career in Honduras as a goalkeeper, most notably for C.D. Motagua where he conquered several titles and individual awards. He began his career playing for his hometown club San Martín de Mendoza.

His debut for Motagua occurred on 24 August 1997, where he saved two penalty kicks in the 1–0 victory over C.D.S. Vida. According to Diego, his most memorable event as a player took place in the final series of the 1999–2000 Honduran Liga Nacional season against Club Deportivo Olimpia where after a 0–0 global score, the title had to be decided by penalty shoot-outs in which Vásquez saved the decisive kick to give Motagua its 8th national championship.

Vásquez retired from professional football in 2011 playing for Deportes Savio.

Just as he did as a player, Vásquez began with C.D. Motagua his career as a manager in Honduras in 2013. The first achievement under his management occurred only a year after in the 2014–15 season, a success which represented Motagua's 13th national title. In his first shot as a manager, he already owns the accomplishment of having 150+ consecutive games leading a Honduran Liga Nacional club as a coach, surpassing Carlos Padilla, also with Motagua.
