José de Jesús Díaz Mendoza (June 28, 1950 – January 4, 2001), best known by his ring name Villano I (Spanish: "Villano Primero"; English: "Villain the first"), was a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler). He was the son of luchador Ray Mendoza, and the first of the five Díaz brothers to become a luchador, although not the oldest. His elder brother Alfredo wrestled as Villano II until his death in 1989, while his younger brothers wrestled under the names Villano III (Arturo), Villano V (Raymundo) and Villano IV (Tomás).
