Francesco Zagatti (18 April 1932 – 7 March 2009) was an Italian professional footballer who played as a defender. He usually played as an attacking full-back on either flank, and was known to be a generous, tenacious, and hard-working player, with an ability to make runs down the flank and get on the end of his teammates' passes.
