Dante Eugenio Poli García (born 15 August 1976 in Arica) is a former Chilean football defender.

Now a sport commentator on Chilean sport channel CDF, Poli once played as a defender for multiple clubs in South America and Europe. His achievements include two Primera División de Chile titles with Club Deportivo Universidad Católica in 1997 and 2002.

Unfortunately he was not able to consolidate his technical abilities due to constant injuries during his career. He was on trial with Manchester United in 1997, and even played several friendlies with the club, but was never signed.
