Diego Brando (ディエゴ・ブランドー), is a supporting antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run. He is an the new timeline/canon's equivalent of Dio Brando.

He is a British Jockey who competes in the Steel Ball Run Horse Derby and acts as a rival to Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli before his goals shift to obtaining the Holy Corpse.

Diego physically resembles the original Dio Brand except with a much slimmer build and no birthmark on his ear. He typically is depicted wearing a cyan turtleneck and equestrian helmet with the letters "D", "I", and "O" pinned to the top. He wears khaki rider's pants and brown boots and gloves.

There exists 2 versions of Diego in Steel Ball Run. The first is the original from the main timeline. His stand is Scary Monsters which makes him into a weredinosaur. He has the power to partially or completely turn into a creature resembling a Utahraptor and the power to turn others into Raptors as well, who obey his will. A second Diego is brought by President Funny Valentine after the death of the original from a parallel timeline. This version of Diego has more or less the same appearance and personality, but instead has THE WORLD as a stand. However, due to his lack of vampiric physiology, AU Diego can only stop time using the world for 5 second.

Diego Brando's horse is named Silver Bullet.
