Fabio Liverani (born 29 April 1976) is an Italian football manager and former midfielder. He is the current manager of Italian club Ternana Calcio.

Fabio Liverani was born in Rome, Italy in 1976 to a Somali mother and an Italian father making him an Italo-Somalo. He made his professional footballing debut with Viterbese of Serie C2 in 1996–97. However, it was not until his transfer to Perugia over the 2000–01 season that he showed his full potential.

From 2001 to 2006, Liverani played for Lazio in Italy's Serie A. Despite a string of lacklustre performances by the club, he earned a call-up to the national team during the pre-World Cup stage held on 2 and 3 May. However, he was not re-called for the FIFA World Cup.

The 2006 season saw Liverani move to Fiorentina. He played a total of two seasons with the team, being instrumental in the Viola's successful 2007–2008 Serie A campaign, which ended with Fiorentina securing fourth place in the League's final standings. This ensured the club a spot in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League 2008-09. Fiorentina and Liverani parted company the following season.

In May 2008, Liverani signed a three-year contract with Palermo, being also appointed team captain. A highly influential player in Palermo's squad, he controlled the midfield, picking up the most completed passes by any player in the Serie A 2008–2009 season. Liverani was forced to miss the first three months of the 2009–10 season due to a serious injury that he had sustained on May, and broke back into the first team only on November, then being replaced as permanent team captain by Fabrizio Miccoli. In his first game as a regular, against Chievo, the first game of new head coach Delio Rossi in charge of the team, Liverani went on to be sent off during the game.
