Bruno Labbadia (pronounced ; born 8 February 1966) is a German football manager and former player who played as a striker. He is the current manager of Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart.

Labbadia is of Italian ancestry. His family roots go back to Lenola, a town in the Lazio region. Labbadia's Italian parents moved to Germany as Gastarbeiter and settled in Schneppenhausen near Darmstadt in Hesse. Together with eight siblings, he and his family had lived on a farm for rent before moving to Weiterstadt when he was ten years old.

Labbadia communicated in Italian with his parents, while he spoke German with his siblings. He acquired his secondary school leaving certificate and trained as an insurance salesman. When he was 18 years old, he gave up Italian citizenship and became a German citizen, since in Germany only two foreigners were eligible to play in one team at the time, and so he gave place to a non- German in the squad of SV Darmstadt 98. He was also associated with the German U21 national team.

Labbadia made his debut for hometown 2. Bundesliga side Darmstadt 98 in 1984–85, scoring 9 goals in 33 games. Labbadia recorded 103 goals in 328 Bundesliga games across his career, including 50 goals for Arminia Bielefeld and 44 goals for his hometown club Darmstadt 98, as well as scoring 101 goals in 229 Bundesliga 2 games. He netted a total of 229 goals across all competitions in his career. having played for some of Germany's top Bundesliga clubs. He had two caps for the Germany national football team. His most successful season was probably the 1998–99 season, where he scored 29 goals for Arminia Bielefeld. Other notable seasons include 1986–87, where he scored 21 goals for Darmstadt 98, as well as 15 goal campaigns in 1987–88 and 1994–95 with top flight clubs Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln.
