Eustoquio Antonio Díaz Vélez (Buenos Aires, November 2, 1782 – id., April 1, 1856) was an Argentine military officer who fought against the British invasions of the Río de la Plata, participated in the May Revolution, in the war of independence and in the Argentine civil wars.

His name was Eustoquio (Eustochio Antonio according to his baptismal certificate) but usually is cited, incorrectly, as Eustaquio.
