Leonardo Acori (born January 16, 1955 in Bastia Umbra, Province of Perugia) is an Italian football manager, who is the current head coach of Lega Pro club A.C. Prato.

Acori played since 1974 to 1983 in the football team of G.S. Banco di Roma.

Acori's first coaching experience came in 1990, at the helm of Interregionale team Rieti, which he led to a fourth place, then winning the division the next year with L'Aquila. After two seasons with Viterbese (a fourth and a third place), he served as mid-season replacement at Ternana with little fortune, and then trying unsuccessfully to escape relegation with Lazio-based team Ladispoli the following year. In 1997–98 he became head coach of Gubbio, leading them to an immediate Serie D title and a seventh place in the Serie C2 the following season. In 1999 he joined Tuscan side Sangiovannese, leading them to a Serie D title in 1999–2000 and narrowly missing promotion to Serie C1 in 2001–2002 after losing the playoff finals to Pro Patria.

In 2002–2003 he was appointed as new Rimini boss, leading the biancorossi to a second place in the Serie C2/B, and then winning the promotion playoffs. The next season he then led Rimini to a fourth place in the Serie C1 round, missing a second consecutive promotion after losing the subsequent promotion playoffs. The promotion however proved just to be delayed as Rimini managed to win the Serie C1/A round the following season, thus ensuring a historical Serie B comeback. He was confirmed at the helm of Rimini with notable fortune, leading also his side to a fifth place in the 2006–2007 Serie B.
