Leandro Remondini (Italian pronunciation: [leˈandro remonˈdiːni]; 17 November 1917 – 9 January 1979) was an Italian association football player and manager, who played as a midfielder or as a defender.

Born in Verona, Remondini was a defensive midfielder, who capable of covering any midfield role for his teams and who could also play as a full-back. After playing two seasons in Serie B with Verona, he debuted in Serie A at 20 years of age with Milan, in the same year that Italy won the 1938 World Cup. During the war period, he went from Modena to Casale, and back to Modena, before heading for the capital. With Lazio he played his best football, scoring 19 goals in 95 games and earning a spot on the Italian team for the 1950 World Cup. After the World Cup he went to Napoli, and then ended his Serie A career with Lucchese.

Remondini was the oldest player selected to the Italy national team for the 1950 World Cup. His one cap for the 'Azzurri' was in the team's 2–0 win against Paraguay.

A versatile player, Remondini was capable of playing anywhere in midfield, and also as a defender, but was usually deployed as a defensive midfielder, or also as a full-back on occasion.
