Marco Cassetti (born May 29, 1977 in Brescia) is an Italian right-sided midfielder, though he sometimes plays as a right-back, who currently plays for A.S. Roma. He is a hard working player who is also versatile, skillful and with the ability to cross the ball..

Cassetti started his football career at A.C. Montichiari, an amateur-level club inside the province of Brescia. In his two seasons with them he made 30 appearances and scored six goals. He then moved on to a Serie C1 team, Lumezzane, where he also stayed for two years. His debut in the Serie A was with Hellas Verona, when they drew 1-1 with Bari. He was often a sub in his first two years with them, but a starter the next year as they were relegated to the Serie B. After that he was a typical starter for Lecce, and played with them for three seasons. In the season 2006-07 Cassetti left Lecce for a four-year contract with Roma on a co-ownership deal for 1.5m Euro due to Lecce's relegation.

Cassetti has been capped for Italian national team 5 times.
