Diego García de Padilla (died 1368) was a Spanish nobleman who became Master of the Order of Calatrava.
His brother, Juan García de Padilla, was made nominal Master of the Order of Santiago by the King.
[5] In 1357 Padilla was made mayordomo mayor to Peter of Castile, replacing Juan Fernández de Henestrosa as the head of the king's household.
The chronicler Pero López de Ayala said the Castilians had low morale because the king had unjustly taken valuable Moorish prisoners from them that they had captured the previous year.
[12] After the Battle of Nájera (3 April 1367), Peter sent him as a prisoner to Alcalá de Guadaíra Castle near Seville, where he died in 1368.
