Didacus of Alcalá (†1463), also known as Diego de San Nicolás, was a Spanish Franciscan lay brother who served as among the first group of missionaries to the newly conquered Canary Islands. Didacus was canonized by Pope Sixtus V in 1588, the first of a lay brother of the Order of Friars Minor. His feast day is celebrated on 13 November and he is the holy patron of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego, city of San Diego, and lay brothers of the Order of Friars Minors.
