Rodolfo Bodipo Díaz, Bodipo (born 25 October 1977 in Seville), is a Spanish-Equatorial Guinean international football striker, who currently plays centre forward for Deportivo de La Coruña. After having started with lowly CD Isla Cristina, Bodipo played for several Spanish clubs throughout his career, with moderate netting success: Recreativo de Huelva (three "Segunda División" seasons), Racing de Santander and Deportivo Alavés (in both cases, helping his side achieve "La Liga" promotion).

In 2006-07, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña, where he was never more than a fourth-string choice.

Through parentage, Bodipo opted to represent the Equatorial Guinea national football team as Benjamín and Javier Balboa. His first two caps, aged 29, came against Togo, playing in both legs of 2006 World Cup qualification.
