Cristiano Bergodi (born October 14, 1964 in Bracciano) is an Italian football coach and former player.

He started to play in the country's first division (Serie A) in 1984, for Pescara Calcio. He most notably played for Lazio, where he spent seven seasons in the top flight, and retired in 2000 after a brief stint at Maltese club Sliema Wanderers.

After he retired, Bergodi started working as a coach. After a couple of minor league experiences in Italy, he moved into Romanian football, initially with National Bucharest, before achieving his first major successes as Rapid Bucharest manager, winning the Romanian Supercup on July 27, 2007. He also coached Liga 1 team CFR Cluj during the 2006-2007 season, achieving a place in UEFA Cup.

On October 6, 2007, shortly after Rapid were eliminated from the UEFA Cup in first round, Bergodi resigned, declaring Rapid was "a club of amateurs".[1]
