Matías Emanuel Lequi (born 13 May 1981) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Club Atlético Sarmiento as a central defender.
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Lequi started his career with hometown side Rosario Central, then signed for Club Atlético River Plate where he won two consecutive Clausura titles. In 2003, he moved abroad, joining Atlético Madrid, making his La Liga debut on 31 August in a 0–1 away loss against Sevilla FC and only missing four matches during the season as the Colchoneros eventually finished seventh and qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
Subsequently, Lequi signed with Italy's S.S. Lazio, going pretty much unnoticed during his one season-spell. For 2005–06 he returned to Spain, being loaned to Celta de Vigo: as the Galicians eventually finished in sixth position and reached the UEFA Cup straight from Segunda División, he was heavily featured, scoring against Real Madrid (1–2 home loss) and former team Atlético (opening the scoresheet in a 3–0 away win).
