Ighli Vannucchi (born 5 August 1977 in Prato) is an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder. He currently plays for Spezia.
A player with notable technical ability and vision, he played mainly for mid-table Serie A clubs, as well as in the Serie B.
He joined first Empoli in their 2002-2003 campaign, and returned to the Tuscan side on January 2004 after an unimpressive six-month stay at Palermo. He was the team captain and was considered one of the most representative players of the squad.
He was released on 1 July 2010 and in October signed by Spezia. On 27 June 2011 he signed a new 1-year contract.
Vannucchi has represented Italy at U-21 level, winning the UEFA U-21 Championship in 2000, also representing the Italy U-23 side at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
