Egidio Calloni (born December 1, 1952 in Busto Arsizio, Province of Varese) is an Italian former football striker, best known for his stint at AC Milan.

A Internazionale youth system product, he then moved to Varese and then on loan to Serie C club Verbania. He returned at Varese in 1972, scoring 23 goals in two Serie B seasons, being noted by AC Milan. Signed by the "rossoneri" in 1974, he played four seasons with AC Milan as a regular, scoring 31 goals in 101 matches. He became however famous for his several striking mistakes which brought popular journalist Gianni Brera to nickname him "sciagurato Egidio" (Egidio the wretched), after a minor character from Alessandro Manzoni's novel "The Betrothed".

He then played with little success with several other Serie A teams, such as Verona and Perugia, being a backup for Paolo Rossi in the latter. He then moved to Serie B club Palermo, scoring 11 goals in 29 matches (including a single match in the 1981-82 season) and being the "rosanero" topscorer in 1980-81. He then returned to play at Serie A level with Como, failing however to impress, being featured only eight times, and scoring two goals. He retired in 1982, aged 30.

Calloni currently works as an agent for a national gelato company of Italy. He gained news in 2007 after having been involved in a car accident following a cerebral ischemia attack.
