Romano Negri (born 30 September 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Adelaide Football Club 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 South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club's 'Best and Fairest' award in 1988. A ruckman standing at 204cm (6'9"), he has the distinction of being Woodville's last ever captain, leading the club in 1989 and 1990 before they merged with West Torrens to become the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles.^[1]

When he joined Adelaide in 1991, Negri became the league's 3rd tallest player behind Essendon's Paul Salmon and Carlton's Justin Madden who both stand at 206cm tall. 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]
