Ramón Enrique Maradiaga Chávez (born 30 October 1954 in Amapala, Honduras) is a retired Honduran football player who currently serves as coach of El Salvador national football team.

Nicknamed Primitivo, Maradiaga has played as a midfielder amongst others for Motagua as well as Salvadoran giants Águila and Alianza. He also had half a season in Europe, playing 15 games in the Spanish Segunda División for Tenerife in 1984. He scored 23 goals in total for Motagua, making him one of the most prolific midfielders in the club's history.

He finished his career at Tela Timsa after the 1991–1992 season and took the reigns at the club the next season, also changing their name to Petrotela.

A stocky defensive midfielder, Maradiaga represented Honduras at the 1977 FIFA World Youth Championship. He went on to play for his country in 24 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and he was captain of the Honduras squad that took part in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.

After his playing career ended, he has been rather successful as a coach. He has coached Motagua, Victoria, Águila and the Honduras national football team.

He had been in charge of the Guatemala national football team until 2006, but his contract was terminated after they failed to reach the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification play-offs. He returned however for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification in March 2008 but was dismissed by the Chapines for a second time in October 2008.
