Alberto Di Chiara (born 29 March 1964) is an Italian former professional footballer, who played for Roma, Reggiana, Lecce, Fiorentina, Parma and Perugia, as well as for the Italian national side, as a winger and full back. He is the younger brother of the Italian footballer Stefano Di Chiara.
A Roma Youth Product, he made his Serie A debut with the club during the 1980–81 Serie A season, also winning the Coppa Italia that year. After two seasons with the club, he was transferred to Serie B side Reggiana in 1982, making 22 appearances.
In 1983, he was acquired by Lecce for the following season. He helped the club achieve an historic first-time promotion to Serie A during the 1984–85 season, his second year with the club. During the 1985–86 Serie A season, he played alongside his brother Stefano under manager Eugenio Fascetti.
Between 1986 and 1991, he played with Fiorentina, collecting 122 appearances and 10 goals in Serie A over five seasons. Although he was initially acquired as a winger in 1986, the club's new Brazilian manager at the time, Sebastião Lazaroni decided to deploy him as an attacking full-back or wing-back, in the mould of offensive, Brazilian attacking fullbacks, such as Djalma Santos, due to Di Chiara's pace, technical ability, and his offensive style of play. During his time at the club, he reached the 1990 UEFA Cup Final.
