Franco Petroli (born 11 June 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lanús.
Petroli came through the youth setup at River Plate, who he joined aged 10. In 2013, he won the 8th division championship.[1] In January 2018, he was called up by Marcelo Gallardo for pre-season training in the United States.[2]
On June 5 2023, he was loaned to Primera Nacional club Estudiantes RC for 6 months, without a buy option.[3] During his time there, he kept 15 clean sheets in 25 games, only conceding 12 goals in total.[4]

On 15 January 2026, he joined Lanús until the end of 2030, despite a heart problem being found in his medical.[7] Coach Mauricio Pellegrino signed him to provide competition for existing first-choice goalkeeper Nahuel Losada.[8]
