Horacio Carbonari (born May 2, 1974 in Santa Teresa) is a former Argentine footballer who played as a defender.
Carbonari began his career at Rosario Central. His debut at the first division was in 1993. In the Argentinian club, he won the Copa Conmebol (currently known Copa Sudamericana) in 1995. In that edition of the internacional cup, he scored 4 goals.
He was signed by Derby County in the summer of 1998 for £3million by former Derby manager Jim Smith where he quickly became a fans favourite. He qualified for a work permit because of the fact he has an Italian passport and has Italian grandparents. He went on to play ninety times for the club, scoring nine and winning praise from the fans after scoring twice against rivals Nottingham Forest. However he became out-of-favour at the club and had a short loan spell at Coventry City in 2002, before being released by Derby.
He went back to Rosario Central later that year and helped the club qualify for the Copa Libertadores, but after an injury that kept him out of the season, was released on a free, so, Carbonari decided to retire at the end of 2004/05 season.
At the beginning 2006/07 season, he was appointed by Rosario Central as general manager.
