Cesare Cattaneo (born 18 August 1951 in Verano Brianza) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player.
He played 9 seasons (187 games, 6 goals) in the Serie A for A.C. Milan, Avellino and Udinese Calcio.
His professional debut on 29 March 1970 for A.C. Milan was not a happy one, coach Nereo Rocco was forced to field Cattaneo in the game against Juventus FC after injuries to Karl-Heinz Schnellinger and Saul Malatrasi. Cattaneo was marking Pietro Anastasi, who had no problem with the 18-year-old defender and scored 2 goals in the 3-0 Juve win.
