Iñigo Díaz de Cerio Conejero (born 15 May 1984 in San Sebastián, Basque Country) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
Having finished his football grooming with Real Sociedad, Díaz de Cerio was the top scorer in the third division with the B-team in the 2005–06 season (all four groups), and also made his La Liga debut on 12 February 2006 in a 0–1 away loss against Atlético Madrid. In 2007–08, he scored 16 second level goals as the main squad finished fourth, falling short of a return to the top flight.
On 8 November 2008, Díaz de Cerio suffered a serious injury after a collision with SD Eibar player Zigor, fracturing the tibia and the fibula of his right leg. After a successful surgery, the club medical's staff nonetheless stated that the recovery would be "...very slow...", and the player was expected to miss the vast majority of the campaign.
In late June 2009, Díaz de Cerio switched to Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao on a four-year deal, after his Real contract had just expired. He returned to action almost one year after his injury (5 November 2009), playing 30 minutes in a 1–1 draw at C.D. Nacional for the UEFA Europa League.
