Lucio Topatigh (born October 19, 1965) is a former Italian ice hockey player.

Born in Gallio, Vicenza, Topatigh spent all his career in Serie A league, with Asiago Hockey A.S., HC Devils Milano and Hockey Club Bolzano-Bozen. He won seven times the Scudetto: five with Bolzano, and one with both Devils and Asiago. With Asiago Topatigh won also a Supercoppa italiana and two times the Coppa Italia.[1]

Topatigh, also known as Il falco di Gallio ("The Hawk of Gallio"),[2] played from 1990 until 2002 also in the Blue Team, the Italian national ice hockey team.[1][2] Mickey Goulet, the Italian coach, recalled Topatigh for 2006 Winter Olympics. Topatigh was the oldest Italian player at those Olympics in Turin. In 2008 he retired from professional hockey.[2]

Topatigh was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2015, as the first winner of the Bibi Torriani Award.[3][1]
