Fabio Coltorti (born 3 December 1980) is a Swiss footballer who plays for German club RB Leipzig as a goalkeeper.
Coltorti was born in Kriens. During his career in his country he played with hometown's SC Kriens, FC Schaffhausen, FC Thun and Grasshopper Club Zürich, being first-choice for the latter three.
On 30 August 2007 Coltorti penned a four-year contract with Spanish club Racing de Santander, for €1 million. During his first season with the Cantabrians he was mainly restricted to Copa del Rey matches, which also happened in the following; his La Liga debut came on 22 December 2007, in a 1–4 away loss against Sevilla FC.
From mid-December 2009 to February 2010, Coltorti had his longest league run in Racing's goal, benefitting from starter Toño's injury: in the first eight matches the club only lost once, at Villarreal CF (2–0), only conceding seven goals. He would finish the campaign with 23 league appearances, as his team barely avoided relegation after finishing in 16th position.
Toño returned to full fitness for 2010–11, playing in 37 of 38 league games. In mid-June 2011, Coltorti returned to his country and signed a one-year deal with FC Lausanne-Sport. During a league game against BSC Young Boys in early April of the following year he injured his little finger in the final minutes but, rather than leaving the pitch as his team had already used all three substitutes, he relocated his finger back into place and continued playing until the end of the 3–1 away win.
