Diego Zarzosa Peña (b. 25 December 1975 in Valladolid) is a Spanish rugby union hooker who plays for CR El Salvador in the División de Honor.
At age 23, he represented Spain during the 1999 Rugby World Cup. In 2007, Zarzosa singed a six-week contract with English giant Harlequin FC after Samoan Tani Fuga was called to the World Cup squad and Chris Brooker suffered a shoulder injury. He wasn’t able to debut in the Premiership. Later that year, he became the second Spanish-born rugger to play for the Barbarians.
