Guido Buchwald (born 24 January 1961) is a former German football player. He has played for the German national team.

The best game of Buchwald's career was in the 1990 FIFA World Cup final, where West Germany beat Argentina. Buchwald closely marked Diego Maradona during the match, which earned him the nickname "Diego."[1] His other nickname, "Bucky," comes from his unusual name. Buchwald also played for Germany in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and earned 76 caps in his career.[2]
