Tullio Ghersetich (born 28 April 1930) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Throughout his career, Ghersetich played for several different Italian clubs. He began his career at Carrarese in 1950, and gained prominence while playing for Empoli, which earned him a transfer to Fiorentina in 1952. He stayed at the Florentine club for one season, scoring 5 goals in 13 league matches. Ghersetich was then sold to Monza, and later played for Salernitana and Cagliari before retiring in 1959.
On 18 January 1953, Ghersetich recorded the fastest goal in the history of Serie A, scoring the 1–0 goal for Fiorentina in an away game against Como after only ten seconds. He held this record for 35 years, being surpassed by Gianfranco Matteoli in 1988. Ghersetich still holds the record for Fiorentina's quickest goal in Serie A.
