Giuseppe Sculli (born 23 March, 1981 in Locri, Reggio Calabria) is an Italian footballer. As of 2006 he plays for Genoa.Sculli made his Serie A debut on 14 September, 2002 for Modena against A.C. Milan.

Sculli was sold to Chievo in 2003 (with Paro & Gastaldello) as part of the deal of Nicola Legrottaglie transfer, but Juventus bought back all three in 2005 and signed a contract until summer 2008, and loaned him to Messina.

In 2006, Juventus were relegated to Serie B, at which point Sculli made a return to the first team. He made a few appearances in friendly matches, but was loaned to newly promoted Serie B team Genoa on 24 August.

Sculli is the grandson of Giuseppe Morabito a notorious boss of the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia organisation. He is accused of match-fixing when he played for F.C. Crotone against his current club F.C. Messina at the last match-day of the 2001-02 Serie B.
