Cristian Zaccardo, Cavaliere (born December 21, 1981 in Formigine, Modena) is a world cup-winning Italian footballer who plays for Serie A team US Palermo and the Italy national football team.

One of the best products of the Bologna youth system, Zaccardo debuted in the first team in 2001, under the direction of coach Francesco Guidolin, immediately becoming a regular for the rossoblu and Italy's "Under 21" national team. He left Bologna in 2004 to join his former coach Guidolin in Palermo.

In the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he was the second player in the tournament to score an own goal when attempting to clear a free kick (The ball deflected off the side of his boot and went backwards into the net), while playing against the USA on June 17, 2006. The match eventually resulted in a 1-1 draw. Italy did not allow another goal all tournament until Zinedine Zidane converted a penalty kick against them in the early minutes of the final.
