Giuseppe Favalli (born January 8 1972 in Orzinuovi, Province of Brescia) is an Italy football (soccer) player at the position of defender (football) who currently plays for AC Milan.

He started his career with then-Serie B squad U.S. Cremonese, where his strong performance resulted in him being signed to S.S. Lazio during the summer of 1992.
