Guido Masetti (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡwiːdo maˈzetti]; 22 November 1907 – 26 November 1993) was an Italian football goalkeeper and manager.

Born in Verona, Masetti played for Hellas Verona, and A.S. Roma from 1929 to 1943, appearing in 339 matches, winning an Italian title in the 1941–42 season.[1]
