Andrea Guatelli (born 5 May 1984 in Parma) is an Italian footballer player, currently playing for FC Zürich. His position is goalkeeper.

Guatelli began his career at Parma where he established a reputation as an exciting prospect. This led to FA Premier League club Portsmouth signing the player in prior to the 2004–05 season to provide competition for Shaka Hislop, with a view to replacing the veteran upon his retirement. In March 2006 returning Oxford United manager Jim Smith made Guatelli one of his first signings, on loan until the end of the season.

At the end of the 2005–06 season Guatelli was released by Portsmouth and in January 2007 he signed with FC Zürich of the Swiss Super League.
