Nathaniel Otis Mendez-Laing (born 15 April 1992) is a Guatemalan international footballer who currently plays as a winger for English EFL Championship side Derby County. Born in Birmingham he began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers, making his professional debut in 2009 at the age of nineteen. However, after loan spells with Peterborough United and Sheffield United, he left the club, joining Peterborough on a permanent deal in 2012.

He made 60 appearances for Peterborough, spending time on loan with Portsmouth, Shrewsbury Town and Cambridge United, before joining Rochdale where he made 83 appearances during a two-year spell. In 2017, he joined Cardiff City where he helped the side win promotion to the Premier League in his first season.

Mendez-Laing is eligible to represent England through birth, Jamaica through his father and Belize and Guatemala through his mother. He represented England at under 16 and under 17 level. In 2023, Mendez-Laing switched allegiances to Guatemala, whom he qualifies for through his Belizean mother of Guatemalan descent.
