Iago Falque Silva (also Yago Falque) (born 4 January 1990) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur as an attacking midfielder.

Born in Vigo, Galicia, Falque began his career with La Liga club Real Madrid before moving to FC Barcelona in 2001, joining the clubs youth ranks. After seven years in the Barcelona youth academy, the young Spaniard was promoted to the FC Barcelona B team for a match. In his single appearance for the club, Falque scored his first professional goal. Following his debut, Falque was involved in a transfer negotiation, regarding heavy interest in the Spanish U-20 international, from Serie A club Juventus.

On 30 August 2008, Falque signed a four-year contract with Juventus, and officially was presented on 2 September 2008. He transferred to the Serie A club on a free deal, that included a €2.5m compensation to Barcelona, if certain goals were reached by the player in his stay with the club. On 6 December 2008, he received his first call-up to the club's first team in a match against U.S. Lecce, on the 15th matchday of the Serie A season. On 25 August 2009, Falque was loaned to Serie A side A.S. Bari, where he played for the club's youth team, before returning to Juventus in January 2010, returning to their youth team.

Iago is a fictional character in Shakespeare's Othello (c. 1601–04). The play's main antagonist, Iago is the husband of Emilia, who is in turn the attendant of Othello's wife Desdemona. Iago hates Othello (who is also known as "The Moor") and devises a plan to destroy him by making him believe that his wife is having an affair with his lieutenant, Michael Cassio.

The role is thought to have been first played by Robert Armin, who typically played intelligent clown roles like Touchstone in As You Like It or Feste in Twelfth Night.

The character's source is traced to Giovanni Battista Giraldi Cinthio's tale "Un Capitano Moro" in Gli Hecatommithi (1565). There, the character is simply "the ensign". Iago is a soldier and Othello's ancient (ensign or standard bearer).

Othello has its source in the 1565 tale, "Un Capitano Moro" from Gli Hecatommithi by Giovanni Battista Giraldi Cinthio. While no English translation of Cinthio was available in Shakespeare's lifetime, it is possible Shakespeare knew the Italian original, Gabriel Chappuy's 1584 French translation, or an English translation in manuscript. Cinthio's tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508. In Cinthio, Iago's counterpart is simply "the ensign."
