Paolo Castelli (born 3 January 1980) is an Italian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Monza. He spent his most of his career at Prima Divisione, 2½ seasons at Seconda Divisione and 2½ seasons at Serie B. (3rd, 4th and 2nd highest division respectively).
Born in Cittiglio, Lombardy, Castelli started his career at Internazionale. He spent 2 seasons on loan at Lombardy side Pro Sesto, then sold to Cagliari in co-ownership deal. In 2001–02 season, he was loaned back to Lombardy for Varese. And in June 2002 bought back by Inter after an auction between the two clubs.
He then left on loan to Serie C1 club Reggiana, where he rejoined ex-Inter team-mate Raffaele Nuzzo. With Nuzzo and Luca Mondini, Castelli worked as the 3rd choice keeper and in January 2003 left for Reggiana's league rival Prato, as understudy of Alessio Sarti. Since the left for Sarti, Castelli became the starting keeper for Prato.
In 2004–05 season he left for Serie C1 side Spezia along with forward Nicola Napolitano, which at that time the club partially owned by Inter. He worked as the backup of Hugo Daniel Rubini who spent previous 5 seasons as first choice except 2003–04 season. In January 2005, he left the club after Spezia signed keeper Alex Cordaz from Inter. At Vittoria, Spezia's league rival, he was the backup of Giancarlo Petrocco.
