Leandro Maximiliano Scartascini (born 30 January, 1985 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine soccer player He operates either in an attacking midfield position or as a striker.

In 2004 was linked with a big move to Udinese but the move fell through due to technical reasons. During 2004 Darlington F.C. boss David Hodgson saw a window of opportunity too good to miss and brought Leandro Scartascini to England on the recommendation of a South American contact. Leandro, 19 at the time, joined Darlington on trial for the rest of the season however his fate was sealed when the club were unable to obtain the funds to house the young starlet during his stay in England. Contrary to popular belief he did not miss the opportunity to join the club because of work permit issues as Leandro held grandparents of Italian heritage.

Since 2005 he has played football for Apullum in Romania, Bolívar in Bolivia, Örebro SK in Sweden and UD Alzira in Spain.
