Lisandro Arbizu (born September 29, 1971 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine rugby union footballer. He plays first five-eighths (fly-half) or second five-eighths (inside centre). He began playing for the local traditional club Belgrano Athletic Club and was one of the first Argentine players to migrate into the professional rugby in Europe.
He played with four different clubs in France: CA Brive, CA Bordeaux-Bègles Gironde, Section Paloise and Aviron Bayonnais. As of the 2006-07 season, he plays for Italian club Gran Parma Rugby.
At only 19 years of age he made his debut against Ireland on October 1990 and has been with Los Pumas since. In 1992 against Spain, he became the country's youngest captain ever at the age of 21. Has earned 86 caps for his national side and has 165 test points (13 tries, 15 penalties, 11 drops and 11 goals). He played in three Rugby World Cup's (1991, [1995] and 1999) and missed his chance in 2003 due to injury.
