Francesco Lodi (born 23 March 1984 in Naples) is an Italian footballer. As of 2006, he plays for Frosinone, on loan from Empoli.

Although he played well for the Italian U-19 team, Francesco Lodi made his Italy U-21 debut against Croatia in a friendly match, August 15, 2006, at age of 22. He missed major events like the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006.

His late call-up to U-21 side was due to competition from highly talented players such as Palladino, Pazzini and Bianchi, Pepe.

Due to the UEFA U-21 Championship 2007 age limit change, new coach Pierluigi Casiraghi called him up as senior member of the squad.
