Orlando Urbano (born 9 June 1984) is an Italian Association football player who currently plays as a defender for FC Lugano in the Swiss Super League.
Urbano started his career with Italian powerhouse Juventus FC, where he played for the club's youth sector. In 2004, he graduated from the Juventus youth system along with several other future prospects. For the first half of the 2004–2005 season, Juventus loaned the 19-year-old Urbano out to A.C. Reggiana, in the Italian third division, in order for him to gain experience at a professional level. With Reggiana, he managed 7 appearances as a center defender, his natural position. For the next six-months of the 2004–05 season, Juventus loaned him out to A.C. Pavia, where he would account for nine total appearances. He would then join Sassari Torres, where he did not manage a single start, and thus was re-called to Juve and loaned back out to Catanzaro. He would make 13 total appearances for the Catanzaro based club.
The following season, he returned to Juventus, but in an entire season, made not a single appearance and due to poor performances and lack of experience, Juventus terminated the 23-year-old's contract. He was signed on a free transfer for the 2007–08 season by Serie C1 side Potenza S.C.. With Potenza, Urbano became a first choice defender for the club in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and he went on to make 29 league appearances during the season, also netting a single goal. Despite the positive experience with the southern club, Urbano was sold in the summer of 2008 to third division club, Pro Patria.
