Renato Corsi (born in 1963 in Manhattan, USA) was an American-Argentine footballer. He is noted for the fact that he was the first American-born player to play in the Primera División Argentina.

Corsi rose to fame as part of the Argentinos Juniors team of the early 1980s that won back-to-back championships in the Metropolitano 1984 and the Nacional 1985. They went on to win the Copa Libertadores in 1985[1], also claiming the 1985 Copa Interamericana and playing in the Copa Intercontinental against Juventus of Italy.

Later in his career, Corsi played for a number of other clubs in Argentina including Instituto de Córdoba, Deportivo Armenio, Club Atlético Atlanta and Deportivo Morón.
