Amedeo Carboni (born 6 April 1965) is an Italian retired footballer who played as a left back.
In a professional career which spanned 22 years and saw him appear in nearly 700 official games, he played mainly for Roma (seven seasons) and Valencia (nine), winning eight major titles for the two clubs combined.
Carboni was capped 18 times for the Italian national team, representing it at Euro 1996.
Born in Arezzo, Tuscany, Carboni started playing professionally for local A.C. Arezzo, in Serie B. During his spell with the club he was also loaned twice, including a stint at A.S. Bari with which he made his Serie A debuts, in a relegation-ending season.
After nearly meeting the same fate with Empoli FC, Carboni spent one season with Parma A.C. in the second division, following which he returned to the top level with U.C. Sampdoria, being first-choice and helping the Genoa team to win the Coppa Italia during his first season and also the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in his second, playing the full 120 minutes in the final against R.S.C. Anderlecht (2–0 win).
