Mirko Valdifiori (Italian pronunciation: ; born 21 April 1986) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder.

A Cesena youth-product, he began his career with the senior side in 2004, but was sent on loan to Serie C sides Pavia and Legnano, before moving to Serie B side Empoli in 2008. With Empoli, he became the sixth most capped player in the team's history and helped the team achieve Serie A promotion in 2014. He made his debut in the Italian top division the following season, and his performances throughout the year earned him a transfer to Napoli in 2015. Following a successful first season in Serie A with Empoli, he also earned his first international call-up in 2015, making his Italy debut the same year.

In March 2015, Valdifiori was called up by coach Antonio Conte to the Italy squad for the first time, for a Euro 2016 qualifier against Bulgaria, and a friendly against England. On 31 March 2015 he made his debut in the latter match against England, starting the 1–1 draw at the Juventus Stadium in Turin, and making way for Marco Verratti after 67 minutes.
