Carlo "Carletto" Mazzone (born 19 March 1937 in Rome) is a retired Italian association footballer and manager.

A former centre back, Mazzone played several seasons for his beloved team, A.S. Roma, as well as for Spal and Ascoli. He spent nine seasons with Ascoli, retiring during the 1968–69 season to become the club's manager, in Serie C, helping the team to win the Serie C title in 1972.

Already popular with the Ascoli fans because of his history as a former player for the club, Mazzone gained even more popularity by leading the team for twelve years, up to their historic first ever Serie A appearance. Successively, Mazzone coached several Serie A and Serie B teams, such as Fiorentina, achieving his personal best result in Serie A, a third-place finish during the 1976–77 Serie A season, also winning the Anglo-Italian League Cup in 1975. He subsequently coached Catanzaro, Bologna F.C. 1909, Lecce, Pescara, and Cagliari (1991–93), leading the team to its first appearance in a European competition since the times of Gigi Riva.

After his successes at Cagliari, Mazzone fulfilled his dream, being called to manage his hometown club AS Roma for the 1993–94 Serie A season, where he coached a young Francesco Totti. He remained at the helm of AS Roma for three seasons, without being able to obtain any notable triumph, however.
