Marcelo Chierighini (born 15 January 1991) is a Brazilian competitive swimmer.
At the 2010 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in Dubai, Chierighini, along with César Cielo, Nicholas Santos and Nicolas Oliveira, won the bronze medal in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay with a time of 3:05.74, South American record, leaving behind the U.S. team.
He was at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, China, where he finished 9th in the 4×100-metre freestyle. At the 2011 Summer Universiade, he got a silver medal in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay.
He swam at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the 4×100-metre medley relay, in which he ranked 15th, and the 4×100-metre freestyle relay, in which he ranked 9th.
In April 2013, at the Maria Lenk Trophy in Brazil, Chierighini made the seventh best time of the year in the 50-metre freestyle (21.88 seconds) and fourth in the 100-metre freestyle (48.11 seconds). At the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, he finished 7th in the 4×100-metre freestyle, along with Fernando Santos, Nicolas Oliveira and Vinícius Waked. In the 100-metre freestyle, he equaled his personal record in the semifinal, with a time of 48.11 seconds, ranking third for the final, behind Adrian (47.95) and Feigen (48.07). He finished 6th in the final, with a time of 48.28. In the 50-meter freestyle, Cherighini reached the semifinals, where he beat his personal record with a time of 21.84 seconds. However, due to the high level of proof (thirteen swimmers made times below 22.0, better than London 2012 when ten swimmers did it), he finished 10th, staying out of the final by 10 hundredths of a second. In the 4×100-metre medley, he finished 12th, along with Leonardo de Deus, Felipe Lima and Nicholas Santos.
