Stefano Eranio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsteːfano eˈraːnjo]; born 29 December 1966) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Throughout his career, Eranio played mainly as a right winger;[1] he is mostly remembered for having played for Italian clubs A.C. Milan, and Genoa, as well as English side Derby County, and he also represented Italy 20 times between 1990 and 1997 at international level. He was voted one of Derby County's 11 greatest ever footballers.

His main attributes were his technique, pace, stamina, and his ability to make attacking runs.[1][2] Although he was primarily an offensive or wide midfielder, he was also competent defensively, and he was occasionally deployed as a full-back.[3]
