Diogo Dias was a Portuguese navigator (and brother of Bartolomeu Dias) who was the first European to sail to Madagascar, an island off the southeastern coast of Africa. Diogo Dias landed in Madagascar in 1500, and named it the Isle of St. Lawrence. His ship had been on an expedition with Pedro Álvares Cabral and Bartolomeu Dias, but Diogo Dias' ship became separated from the others at the Cape of Good Hope, and then came upon Madagasacar. He then returned to Portugal.

Diogo Dias took part in another expedition destined for India; an expedition organised by the Portuguese king, Pedro Alvares Cabral.

Diogo Dias, a Portuguese sea captain bound for India in 1500, was the first European to sight the island.

Ten years later, Diogo Dias participated in the historically famous, and important, voyage of 1497-1498 around the Cape and on to India.
