Francesco Ruopolo (born 10 March 1983 in Aversa, Caserta) is an Italian football striker who currently plays for AlbinoLeffe.

Ruopolo, a graduate from the Parma youth system, made his professional debut in 2002 with Pro Patria of Serie C1, where he was sent on loan for a season. He was then loaned to Cittadella, again in Serie C1, where he scored six goals. In summer 2004, he returned to Parma, playing ten games without goals; he is however noted by FC Lokomotiv Moscow, that signs him on loan for the 2005/2006 season. He played seven Russian league matches for Lokomotiv, made two substitution appearances in UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, and started 4 games and made 2 substitution appearances in UEFA Cup, scored two goals against S.K. Brann and Maccabi Petah Tikva FC. He returned to Parma in January 2006, and made six Serie A appearances for the ducali. Ruopolo was signed on co-ownership by Serie B club Triestina in 2006, but he failed to impress in Trieste and moved to AlbinoLeffe in January 2007.
