Fosco Risorti (September 8, 1921  - November 1995) is a retired Italian professional football player. He was born in Fucecchio.

He played for 7 seasons (149 games) in the Serie A for A.S. Roma.

He was blamed for Savoia not achieving promotion in the 1938/39 season after he allowed a goal from a kick taken from the significant distance: the ball bounced unexpectedly off a stone on the field.[2]

During Roma's championship 1941/42 season, he was the backup goalkeeper.
