Alessandro Troncon (born 6 September 1973 in Treviso) is an Italian rugby union player. In his country, he's revered as the most notable and famous Italian Rugby player.

Troncon has made more test appearances than any other player in Italian rugby union history. The veteran scrum-half made his Italy debut against Spain in 1994cite web|url=http://www.scrum.com/1200_1205.php?player=7212&includeref=dynamic|title=Allesandro Troncon|work=scrum.com|accessdate=19 September|accessyear=2007] and has played alongside fly-half Diego Dominguez on more than 50 occasions. He suffered a serious knee injury after the 2003 World Cup which forced him to miss the entire 2004 Six Nations, and to lose the captaincy for his national team.

Troncon spent two years at French side Montferrand before returning to Treviso.

In 2007 Troncon was named man of the match as he scored a try in Italy's first overseas victory at Murrayfield against Scotland in the 2007 Six Nations. Also he was named man of the match in the defeat to England at Twickenham in the 2007 Six Nations. Troncon was in the Italian squad at the 2007 World Cup, during which he made his 100th appearance for his country, in a group-match game against nrut|Portugal. In doing this, he became only the seventh rugby player to reach 100 caps, after George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, David Campese, Jason Leonard, Fabien Pelous, Philippe Sella and one game before Gareth Thomas [cite web|url=http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/news/newsid=2009405.html#troncon+gladiator+battles|work=rugbyworldcup.com|title=Troncon, a gladiator of 100 battles|date=2007-09-18] .
