Christian Lionel Díaz (born 12 May 1976 in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine footballer who played as a defender.

Football career

Díaz started his career with Club Atlético Independiente in 1995. In his first season as a professional, he helped El Diablo Rojo win the South American Supercup, in an eventual 2–1 aggregate win against Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, and appeared in more than 150 official games with the team during his five-year spell.

In 2000, Díaz moved to Italy and joined Udinese Calcio, only missing three Serie A matches as the club finished in 12th position; in the following five years, he played in Spain, representing RCD Mallorca, Levante UD, Albacete Balompié, Ciudad de Murcia and UD Almería, having little overall impact, and only totalling 14 La Liga matches with the first and the third clubs combined.

Díaz returned to his country in 2005, successively representing Olimpo de Bahía Blanca, Club Atlético Huracán and Arsenal de Sarandí, retiring from football at the latter club at the age of 33.
