Leonardo Nicolás Pisculichi (born 18 January 1984) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Vitória, last playing for River Plate in the Argentine Primera División, as an attacking midfielder.

Pisculichi started his career with Argentinos Juniors, making his first division debut on 20 February 2002, against Talleres de Córdoba. He was transferred to Spain's RCD Mallorca on 4 January 2006. His beginnings at his new club were promising, as he netted three times in his first five games - including a penalty kick equalizer against Real Madrid on 26 February, in an eventual 2-1 home triumph.

However, Pisculichi gradually fell out of favour with the Balearic Islands outfit and, on 30 November 2006, was transferred to Al-Arabi Sports Club in Doha, Qatar for €3.6 million, with the move being made effective in January of the following year. He played amazing football in his 5 years of football in Al Arabi. He could have been a phenomenal player if he had stayed in Mallorca since he was known in the The Gulf region as one of the best Free kick takers.

In July 2012, Pisculichi transferred to Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng Taishan. In 2014 he joined Argentine powerhouse River Plate.
