Roberto Murgita (born 11 November 1968) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a forward, currently in charge as a technical collaborator of Genoa.
Murgita made his professional debut as a player in 1987 with hometown club Genoa. He then went on loan to several minor league teams, eventually returning to Genoa in 1993 as an understudy to Tomáš Skuhravý.
In 1994, Murgita left Genoa to join Serie B club Vicenza, becoming one of the most renowned faces of the club's rise to Serie A and nationwide football, winning the 1996–97 Coppa Italia with the Biancorossi and forming a successful striking partnership with Uruguayan Marcelo Otero.
After a lacklustre Serie A season with Piacenza, Murgita joined then-Serie B club Napoli in 1998, but failed to break through the first team also due to recurring injuries. He then played in Serie B with Ravenna and Treviso, before moving down the leagues and eventually retiring in 2005.
