Luigi De Agostini is a former Italian defender, who represented the Italian national football team at Euro 1988 and the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

De Agostini's professional career began with his hometown club, Udinese, where he rarely played, forcing him to move to Serie C1 for Trento for a year. He was immediately back in the Serie A next year, however this time for Catanzaro before he moved back to Udinese, this time much more prominent. In 1986, he was signed on for Hellas Verona, though it was the year after that before he found his greatest success, while signed with Juventus.

During his five-year stay with Juventus, he achieved his first international cap, (a 0-0 draw against Norway on 28 May 1987) won both the Italian Cup and the UEFA Cup, and participated in Euro '88 and the Italia '90 World Cup. Unfortunately, his time with Juventus also included his last game for the Italian national team on 25 September 1991, a 1-2 loss to Bulgaria.

After that, Luigi moved to Inter Milan for a year, then transferred to Reggiana to end his career.
