Stefano Sorrentino (born 28 March 1979) is an Italian professional footballer who plays for A.C. Chievo Verona as a goalkeeper.
Born in Cava de' Tirreni, Campania, Sorrentino started playing football with S.S. Lazio, finishing his youth training with Juventus F.C. in 1997 and failing to collect any official first-team appearances during his one-season spell. In the 1998 summer he joined Torino F.C. in Serie B, only playing once in the league.
In the following two seasons Sorrentino played in Serie C1, representing S.S. Juve Stabia and A.S. Varese 1910 on loan. He returned to Torino in the 2001 off-season, being a backup in the top division (twelve games) and an undisputed starter in the second level during his four years; in his final campaign he made 43 league appearances for Toro, who finished second and promoted via the playoffs.
In the 2005 summer, however, the Turin-based club declared bankruptcy, consequently releasing all its players. Sorrentino moved to Greece and joined AEK Athens FC. After the birth of his daughter, he asked president Demis Nikolaidis to let him return to Italy because his wife was not feeling comfortable enough in Greece; however, no ideal offer was made, and the player made it clear that if he had to stay in the country, he would be 100% professional: on 21 November 2006, he had a top-notch performance against A.C. Milan in a UEFA Champions League group stage match which the Greek hosts won 1–0, also being named Man of the match.
