Franco Foda (born 23 April 1966) is a German football manager and former player.

Foda appeared in over 400 top-flight matches in (West) Germany, Switzerland and Austria. During his second spell with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 1980s he won two caps with coach Franz Beckenbauer at the helm of the West Germany national team. Foda played against Argentina and Brazil in late 1987. During his first ever international appearance, on 12 December 1987 in Brasilia against Brazil, Foda was at the centre of controversy. Both at the reading of the team names and later when he was substituted in, he was met with great applause by the Brazilian fans. Foda only found out the next day that this was due to his name translating to "free intercourse" in Portuguese.
