Germano Fanciulli (born 28 October 1965) is an Italian footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s. He played mainly as a forward, but also as a midfielder.

Fanciulli played his youth football with local club BSC Old Boys. He advanced to their first team, who played in the third tier of Swiss football, in the 1981–1982 season.

FC Basel were relegated after the 1987–88 Nationalliga A season and because many players left their squad, they were hiring new players.

After playing in six test games Fanciulli played his domestic league debut for his new club in the away game on 23 July 1988 as Basel played a 1–1 draw against Zürich.^[2] During his first season with the club he became a regular starter. However, following the change in the head coach position to new manager Ernst August Künnecke Fanciulli's playing time reduced blatantly.

Between the years 1988 and 1991 Fanciulli played 51 games for Basel without scoring a goal; 31 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, four in the Swiss Cup and 16 were friendly games.^[3]

Following his time with Basel, Fanciulli signed for one year with FC Grenchen. He then ended his professional football career and returned to the city of Basel and played with lower tier, local club FC Riehen. After he ended his playing career, he was coach for various local amateur clubs.
