Isaías D'Oleo Ochoa (alternatively spelled Isaias Doleo Ochoa) (born December 23, 1980) is a Costa Rican philologist, poet and editor.

He is best known for his contribution to Philology when he proposed to the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica a draft bill to create the Costa Rican Philologists Association . This project was later supported by congressman Oscar López Arias (2006–2010) who studied Doleo's draft bill and commented about the draft's merit in order to introduce it as a proposed law in May 2008, sending the bill to the Government Printing Office.[3] Costa Rican Philologists Association Project is one of the 75 of 1008 initiatives presented by Costa Rican citizens that has become proposed laws since 1999.[4]
His poetry is usually short, but it serves as complete thoughts unto themselves. His work reflects the influences of William Blake, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Burns, Rubén Darío, and Pablo Neruda. His bilingual poems (English-Spanish) have appeared in a variety of poetry publications and are characterized by their originality and imagery, exhibiting sensibility, faith, and hope.[5]
