Diego Falcinelli (born 26 June 1991) is an Italian footballer who plays as a striker for Crotone on loan from Sassuolo.

Born in Marsciano, in the Province of Perugia, Falcinelli started his career at Ponte San Giovanni (a frazione of Perugia) based club Pontevecchio. He was loaned to Internazionale in June 2007. He played one friendly for the first team in February 2008. He also won the Campionato Nazionale Allievi with Inter U17 youth team.

On 2 July 2009, he was signed by Sassuolo youth team. He also awarded no.26 shirt of the first team, which he made his Serie B debut on 28 November 2009, replacing Gianluigi Bianco in the 82nd minute. Alessandro Noselli scored the equalizing goal a minute later for Sassuolo, and assisted by Falcinelli. Eventually Sassuolo 2–2 draw with Ancona.

On 26 July 2010, he left for Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Foligno in a co-ownership deal, for a peppercorn fee of one hundred euro. Falcinelli made his debut on 8 August 2010, in 2010–11 Coppa Italia first round. Since the cup second round, he partnered with Matteo Cavagna and Stefano Giacomelli in a 4–3–3 formation, except missed round 6 and 7 of the league.
