Luigi Giuliano (; 16 August 1930 – 23 December 1993) was an Italian professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

He had the distinction of scoring in each of his first three Serie A games in the 1948/49 season. He was the only youth team player who was playing regularly on the first squad of A.C. Torino. Because of a delay he had in obtaining a passport he did not join the team on its trip to Lisbon which led to the Superga air disaster, in which the first squad perished.

Overall, he played for 14 seasons in the Serie A for A.C. Torino and A.S. Roma (267 games, 21 goals).
