Valerio Bertotto (Italian pronunciation: ; born 15 January 1973) is an Italian football manager, who was most recently in charge of Serie B club Ascoli, and a former professional footballer, who played as a defender.

Bertotto started his professional career during the 1990–91 season with Alessandria in the Italian Serie C2. He joined Udinese in 1993, quickly becoming a historical masterpiece for the team, and spending thirteen seasons with the Friuli side, also captaining his side to what is to date their only appearance in the UEFA Champions League, and also becoming the Udinese player with the highest number of matches ever played for the team.

In July 2006, aged 33, he left Udinese to join Siena, another Serie A team, playing two seasons as a regular for the Tuscan side. He was successively released as a free agent in June 2008, and in January 2009 he accepted an offer from Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Venezia. He was released for free after the club was excluded from the Italian football panorama due to financial issues.

In 2010, he obtained his UEFA A coaching license, which made him eligible to coach Lega Pro teams, however he had not yet started his coaching career at the time; he finally pursued a coaching career in 2012.

Bertotto has played 4 times for the Italy national football team between 2000 and 2001, all during his spell at Udinese, with his senior international debut coming in a World Cup qualifying match against Georgia on 11 October 2000, held in Ancona, under manager Giovanni Trapattoni. He missed out on the 2002 FIFA World Cup due to a knee injury.

On 4 November 2020 he tested positive for COVID-19.
