Carlos Gustavo Bossio (born 1 December 1973 in Córdoba) is an Argentine football goalkeeper.
Ironically nicknamed Chiquito ("little") Carlos due to his height of 1.95 metres, he was part of the Argentina national football team between 1994 and 1996, winning the golden medal at the 1995 Pan American Games and the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Carlos Bossio also became on May 12, 1996 the first goalkeeper in Argentine football to score a header, after connecting a corner kick in a match between Estudiantes and Racing Club for the conclusive draw in one goal.
