Diego Esteban Capusotto (born 21 September 1961) is an Argentine television presenter, actor, and comedian noted for his participation in television shows such as Cha Cha Cha, Todo por dos pesos and Peter Capusotto y sus videos. He was born in Castelar, Buenos Aires Province, and moved to the Villa Luro neighborhood of Buenos Aires when he was seven, where he lived for three decades. At 25, he began to study acting at the Arlequines Theater.

His television career began in 1992 with De la cabeza, a series in which he worked with actors and comedians such as Alfredo Casero, Fabio Posca, Mex Urtizberea, and Fabio Alberti. He then teamed up with Casero and Alberti in the comedy project Cha Cha Cha, broadcast intermittently between 1992 and 1997. In 1999 the program Todo por dos pesos made its debut and finally established Capusotto as an icon of Argentine comedy, with characters such as "Irma Jusid", "El Hombre Bobo", and "Peter Conchas". For this series he received the Martin Fierro Award for Comedy Performance in 2001. He also co-wrote and starred in the comedy plays Una noche en Carlos Paz and Qué noche Bariloche.

In 2012, Peter Capusotto y sus 3 Dimensiones, a movie based on the television show, was released.
