Francesco Bardi (born 18 January 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Frosinone, on loan from Internazionale.

Bardi is a product of Livorno's youth system. He made his professional and Serie A debut on 16 May 2010, aged 18, starting the home game versus Parma, with the latter coming off 1–4 winners, when Livorno had already been relegated.

In January 2011 he was signed by Internazionale, on loan with an option to purchase half of the registration rights and he played for Inter's U-19 youth team until the end of the 2010–11 season. He replaced injured Raffaele Di Gennaro as first chocie, winning 2011 Torneo di Viareggio.

Inter excised the rights for €1.35 million in a 4-year contract (with part of transfer credit turned to the purchase of Simone Dell'Agnello for €500,000 and Luca Siligardi for €150,000) but on 3 August 2011 returned Bardi on loan to Livorno for the 2011–12 season, in order to gain first team experience. On 27 August 2011 he made his Serie B debut playing as the first choice goalkeeper in the away match won 2–1 against Crotone. In the whole season Bardi was ahead original starter Alfonso De Lucia.

In June 2012, Inter bought Bardi outright for another €4 million (€1.5 million cash plus Dell'Agnello and Siligardi to Livorno for €1.25 million each) and on 14 July 2012, let him join Serie B team Novara Calcio on a loan deal. At Novara he was the first choice goalkeeper for the duration of the season and generated significant hype around himself with his good performances, making 35 appearances.
