Federico Andrés Mancuello (born 26 March 1989) is an Argentine footballer who plays as box-to-box midfielder for Brazilian Série A club Flamengo.

Mancuello started his career at Independiente and had a brief loan at Belgrano during 2011–12 season. He moved to Flamengo at the beginning of the 2016 season. He also represented Argentina on two occasions scoring one goal.

Mancuello made his league debut for Independiente in a 1–2 home defeat by Arsenal de Sarandí on 14 December 2008. He scored his first goal for the club im a 5–1 away defeat to Lanús on 5 April 2009. He scored again on 11 April in a 2–1 win over Huracán.

After not being considered by Independiente's coach Antonio Mohamed in July 2011 Mancuello was loaned to Club Atlético Belgrano for one year. On 26 October he scored his first and only goal in a 1–0 victory against Tigre. In January 2012 Mancuello suffered an injury in a match of the Copa Argentina which kept him out of the fields for several weeks when he was being a key player of his team.

On January 6, 2016 Mancuello was signed by Brazilian club Flamengo for a fee of R$12 million. On the first half of the season Mancuello didn't perform as expected due to some injuries, playing all of his 12 matches as a starter and scoring 3 goals. As the 2016 Série A started he lost his status of starter, but stablished himself as of the most important substitutes of the team.
