Leandro Rinaudo (born 9 May 1983) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender .
A youth product of Palermo, Rinaudo was loaned to Serie C1 club Varese in the first year of Maurizio Zamparini's era. The loan was pre-matured in January 2003. However, he failed to enter the first team as Zamparini bought a couple of players from his former club Venezia.
On 30 August 2003, Rinaudo was loaned to Serie B club Salernitana, also playing for the Salernitana youth team in the Coppa Italia Primavera as overage player.
After Palermo won promotion to Serie A in 2004 as Serie B champion, Rinaudo was excluded from the club's Serie A plan, and was loaned to another Serie B club Cesena, where he started to play as one of the regular starters.
Rinaudo returned to Palermo on 1 July 2005. That season, he served as backup for Christian Terlizzi, Giuseppe Biava, Cristian Zaccardo (right back or centre back) and Andrea Barzagli and therefore only made seven starts in the league, in addition to three starts in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup.
In the 2006–07 Serie A season, near the end of summer transfer window, Rinaudo left for fellow Serie A club Siena along with Paul Codrea. Rinaudo partnered with Daniele Portanova as centre back and the team improved in goal conceded which made Rinaudo earn a third return to Palermo. He made 21 starts in Serie A that season, which he mainly competed with Biava for the central back position to partner with Barzagli, and Zaccardo usually as right back and Mattia Cassani sometimes as right winger or left back.
