Romano Negri (born 30 September 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Negri played initially for North Hobart in Tasmania and won a Weller Arnold Medal in 1986 after performing well at intrastate level. The following year he moved to Woodville and won the SANFL club's 'Best and Fairest' award in 1988. A ruckman, he has the distinction of being Woodville's last ever captain, leading the club in 1989 and 1990 before they merged with West Torrens.[1]
When he joined Adelaide in 1991, Negri became the league's 3rd tallest player behind Paul Salmon and Justin Madden. A foundation player for Adelaide, he played in their first five AFL games in 1991 and was awarded two Brownlow Medal votes for his 11 hit-outs and 13 disposals in a win over Sydney at the SCG. He made just one more appearance, the opening round of the 1992 AFL season.[2]
