Antonello Cuccureddu (born 4 October 1949) is an Italian football (soccer) coach and former player.
During his playing career he played for Brescia (1968-69), Juventus (1969-81, winning six Serie A titles), and Fiorentina (1981-83). He earned 13 caps for the Italy national football team, and played in the 1978 FIFA World Cup (where he won 5 caps, including the match against Argentina won 1-0 and the 3rd place final against Brazil lost 1-2).
Rather prolific for being a defender (he had a very strong long distance shot), in one League season he managed to score 12 goals (Italian Serie A 1973-74). However, his League's most famous goal was scored at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome facing AS Roma in the last match of the 1972-73 League: with that goal Juventus beat AS Roma 2-1 and won their 15th domestic title by 1 over AC Milan that was leading the League until last match's kickoff and 2 over SS Lazio.
In 2006-07 he led Grosseto to become Serie C1/A winners and gain a historical first-ever promotion to Serie B. Cuccureddu left Grosseto soon after the end of the season to join Serie C1 club Perugia.
