Luca Marchegiani (born February 22, 1966 in Ancona) is a former Italian football goalkeeper.

He played mostly for Torino FC and SS Lazio.

At one time, Marchegiani was the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, when he joined Lazio from Torino in 1993 for £6m [1]

He played for Italy national football team and was a participant at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where he played in three matches,[2] including two in the group phase, the first of which was as a substitute following the sending off of first choice Gianluca Pagliuca.[3]

He currently is a pundit for Sky Italia and ended his playing career at Chievo Verona.
