Zoilo Canavery (26 July 1893 – 29 September 1966) was an Uruguayan football player. Born in Montevideo, Canavery was a notable figure of Argentine sport during the 1910 and 1920 decades, playing in four of the "big five" of Argentina, such as Independiente, River Plate, Racing and Boca Juniors.
Canavery played the most of his career at Independiente, where he spent two tenures (1912-1918 and 1921-1928). With the Red Devils, he won two league championships (1922, 1926), and three Copa de Competencia (organised by dissident Asociación Amateurs de Football) in 1924, 1925 and 1926.
The Red Devils (Diablos Rojos in the original language) nickname was given to Independiente by a journalist who highlighted the skills and effectiveness team's attacking line formed by Canavery, Alberto Lalín, Luis Ravaschino, Manuel Seoane and Raimundo Orsi.
His parents were Valerio Canavery, born in Barracas, Buenos Aires, and Tomasa Tones, born in the city of Bilbao. Zoilo was descendant of Piedmontese and "criollos", and cousin of Pedro Canaveri, president of Club Independiente and of Argentine Football Association.
Zoilo Canavery served as Municipal official in the civil registration of Avellaneda (Buenos Aires Province).
