Giuseppe Dossena (born May 2, 1958 in Milan) is an Italian football (soccer) manager and former player.

Dossena began his playing career for Torino, being successively even capped for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. He then played for Bologna, Udinese, Sampdoria and Perugia.

Later, he started a managing career at international level, coaching Ghana for two years (1998-2000), and then being assistant of Cesare Maldini in Paraguay's appearance at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He is currently an analyst for Italian station RAI.

In October 2008, he was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment for attempting to swindle his ex-club, Sampdoria, by making an offer to purchase the club in 2001, claiming that he had financial backing from an Arab prince, a claim which proved to be false.
