Dario Dainelli (born 9 June 1979 in Pontedera, Province of Pisa) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club A.C. Chievo Verona.
Dainelli started his professional career at Empoli. He spent his early years on Modena (Serie C1), Cavese (Serie C2) and Fidelis Andria (Serie C1) on loan.
He was then signed by Lecce in 2000 (in co-ownership deal and made his Serie A debut against Roma on 18 February 2001.
After just one season at Lecce, Empoli bought him back and sold to Brescia.
Except for the first season which he just made five appearances and left on loan to Serie A rival Verona, he made 56 appearances more for Brescia.
In July 2004 he was signed by newly promoted team Fiorentina, in a co-ownership deal with Brescia. On January 2005, Fiorentina immediately bought all of the remain registration rights.
Dainelli was the team captain after Christian Riganò left the club in summer 2005, a position which he hold until his transfer to Genoa.
At the end of 2006–07 season, due to his contract expiring on summer, some rumor linked him with Juventus and other Italian clubs, but on 9 June 2007, he finally signed a new 4 years contract extension with Fiorentina.
