Mariano Nicolás González (born May 5, 1981 in Tandil) is an Argentinian football player who, as of August 2007, is playing for Porto on loan from Palermo.

He is an offensive midfielder endowed with notable football technique, and one of the main providers for his team. Before he joined Palermo, González played for Racing Club de Avellaneda. He was born in Tandil, the same native city of Mauro Camoranesi.

In the 2006-07 Serie A, he was loaned to Internazionale, where he failed to break into the starting lineup. Later Inter opted not to renew the loan deal, and Palermo subsequently accepted a loan request by Porto on July 17, 2007.^[1]
