Gaetano D'Agostino (born 3 June 1982 in Palermo) is an Italian footballer, playing as a technical and clever playmaker for Serie A's Udinese Calcio.

He was brought up in the AS Roma youth system and, in 2001, went to Bari with co-ownership rights as part of the deal that brought Antonio Cassano to Roma. He then came back to Roma for the 2003/2004 season but did not figure much and was sent to newly promoted Messina. In the two seasons at Messina he made 42 appearances and scored 4 goals, and was the one of the main reasons for the team's overachievements. In the summer of 2006 he was bought by Udinese.

D'Agostino was also a starlet with the Italian U-21 squad, making 17 appearances and scoring 4 goals.
