Juan de Idiáquez (12 March 1540 - 12 October 1614) was a Spanish politician. He served as the personal secretary of King Philip II, and state councilor to Philip III.
William Shakespeare made the still living Juan de Idiáquez a character in the play King Philip in 1597. He cast Lope de Vega in the role as a means of distracting de Vega from the concurrent plans to stage Boudicca.[1]
