Alfredo Garasini (Buenos Aires, June 1, 1897 – Santa Fe, January 6, 1950), was an Argentine footballer who played as forward.

Garasini spent most of his career at Boca Juniors, when he raised from the youth divisions. Garasini's performances in Boca Juniors were highlighted by both, fans and the media, winning a total of 13 titles with the club, 5 Primera División, 6 National cups and 2 international cups (organised by Argentine and Uruguayan Associations by then).[1]

After retiring from football, Garasini served as coach, being also the Boca Juniors manager from 1943 to 1946, winning four titles else, the 1943 and 1944 league championships and two domestic cups, also achieving a mark of 23 consecutive matches unbeaten.[2]
