María Cecilia Rognoni Potocki (born December 1, 1976 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine field hockey defender, who won the gold medal at the 2002 World Cup at Perth, Australia where she was elected as the best woman hockey player in the world by the FIH. She is currently playing in the Dutch team HC Bloemendaal in the second division of the Netherlands.[1]

Cecilia belongs to the generation that gave rise to the myth of the Las Leonas. She won the silver medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. In 2005 she was separated from the Argentine national field hockey team by the coach Gabriel Minadeo, after she said that "many of the players have a place on the team just because of their surname".[2] She came back to the team in 2010 [3] under Carlos Retegui coaching but was forced to leave the team due knee injuries [4]

She also played for Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires and HC Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
