Maurizio D'Angelo (born 29 September 1969 in Naples) is an Italian football manager and former player, who played as a centre back, best known for his career as Chievo captain during the 1990s. He most recently served as manager of F.C. Südtirol in the Italian Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

A centre back, D'Angelo started his career playing for amateur team Trissino in 1986; he then joined Marzotto Valdagno, another amateur team, one year later, and finally signed for Chievo in 1988. During his first season with the gialloblu, D'Angelo made 17 appearances in the Serie C2 league. He then spent a couple of seasons on loan to Serie C2 teams Marzotto Valdagno and Derthona respectively. He returned to Chievo in 1991, finding his team in Serie C1 and quickly establishing himself as a mainstay for the Ceo, captaining his side to two promotions, and also in their subsequent Serie A campaigns.

He made his Serie A debut, together with several of his fellow Chievo players, on August 26, 2001, in a surprise away victory against Fiorentina. In 2002, he became a back-up player, and consequently chose to leave the captaincy to Lorenzo D'Anna, another long-time Chievo player. On January 2003 he decided to leave Chievo, after twelve consecutive seasons with them, in order to join his hometown club Napoli, who were playing Serie B at the time. He returned to Chievo later on in the summer, mainly helping Luigi Delneri to his coaching duties. He made his lone and final appearance with Chievo on May 16, 2004, in a Serie A home league match against Bologna.
