Guy Rigoni (born 27 July 1974) is a former player for Australian rules football team Melbourne. He began his career in 1998, and played every game that season. In later years he started developing back problems that limited his appearances, but he finally reached his 100th game in 2005, which was to be his final season at AFL level. Struggling with form, in his last year, Rigoni made several appearances in the reserves Sandringham side. In October of that year he announced his retirement from the AFL at 31 years of age.

Rigoni went on to play with the Demon's Victorian Football League affiliate the Sandringham Zebras, becoming one of their best players and participating in the club's premiership 3-peat of 2004-2006.
