Miguel Díez de Aux y Haina, known as "The Younger" (1496, Haina - c. 1560, New Spain) was a Spanish mestizo conquistador. Born in Hispaniola to a Spanish father and Taíno mother, he later served under Hernán Cortés in the conquest of the Aztec Empire and retired with great wealth. He is considered the first documented mestizo in the history of the Americas.
