Cristian Fabián Díaz Sichi (born 18 May 1976 in Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine-Spanish footballer who played as a central defender.
After beginning his career with native Club Atlético Platense, Díaz moved in 1997, aged 21, to Spain, where he would remain the following 12 years. Two years earlier, he was picked to represent Argentina at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, with the national team winning the tournament in Qatar after defeating Brazil 2–0.
He started with Atlético de Madrid, but only represented the reserve side during his spell. Also in the second division, where he played with Atlético B, he also represented Málaga CF, Elche CF, UD Salamanca, Sporting de Gijón, Ciudad de Murcia and Granada 74 CF - who rose from the ashes of Ciudad - retiring at CF Atlético Ciudad in level three, at the age of 33.
In the 1998–99 season, Díaz achieved his biggest team success, winning La Liga promotion with Andalusia's Málaga; he only contributed, however, with five games to this feat.
