Alberto Díaz Ortiz (born April 23, 1994) is a Spanish professional basketball player for Unicaja of the Liga ACB and the EuroCup. At a height of 1.91 m (6'3") in shoes, and a weight of 86 kg (190 lbs.), he plays at the point guard position.

Professional career
Díaz started his professional career at Clínicas Rincón, an affiliated team of Unicaja. He played simultaneously with both teams until March 2014, when he was loaned to Bilbao Basket, until the end of the 2013–14 season.

Díaz was loaned again for the next season, this time to Baloncesto Fuenlabrada, a team that finished in the last position of the 2014–15 ACB season.

Finally, in the summer of 2015, he came back to Unicaja, and definitively took a role in the team in the 2015–16 season. In the 2016–17 season, Díaz won the European-wide 2nd-tier level EuroCup, with Unicaja, after beating Valencia Basket in the Finals. Along with winning the EuroCup trophy, Díaz was also named the EuroCup Finals MVP, after he averaged 7.3 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals, in 21.8 minutes per game, over the three game series.

Diaz signed a four-year contract extension on August 7, 2020.

International career
Díaz took part of the Spain national under-18 basketball team that won the Albert Schweitzer Tournament in 2012.

In July 2014, he won the silver medal at the Under-20 championship played in Greece.
