Michelangelo Albertazzi (born 7 January 1991) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Hellas Verona.

Born in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna region, Albertazzi started his career at Bologna F.C. 1909. On 30 August 2007 Albertazzi was sold to A.C. Milan in a co-ownership deal worth €1 million. He was loaned back to Bologna until January 2008. In June 2008 Milan bought Albertazzi outright for another €1 million. Despite his young age, Albertazzi had already played for Bologna in the "Primavera" under-20 reserve league in 2006–07 season. Albertazzi also won the "Primavera" Italian Cup with Milan in 2010. He was also loaned back to Milan's under-18 team for the finals of 2009 Campionato Nazionale Dante Berretti, where Milan was the champion of the wild card group. Milan's "Primavera" team (U19) failed to qualify for the playoffs round that season, but the "Berretti" U17 team did. The coach used the majority of the "Primavera" U19 team (such as reserve keeper Miśkiewicz, Romagnoli, Oduamadi and Strasser, all born 1989/1990) to beat Juventus' "Berretti" U17 team 2–1 (with only two born 1990 and the rest of the squad born 1991).A.C. Milan Primavera was eliminated by Sampdoria in the quarter-finals in 2010, and by Roma in the quarter-finals in 2011.

Albertazzi left for Spanish La Liga club Getafe in June 2011. However he did not play any games. On 31 January 2012 Albertazzi returned to Italy for Serie B club A.S. Varese 1910. Albertazzi failed to make a debut in the first 3 months. Instead, he played 5 games for the reserves as an over-age player (at most 4 born 1991 players were allowed). Near the end of season both the first team and the reserves were aiming for promotion and the title respectively, at which point Albertazzi returned to the first team. Albertazzi made his Serie B debut on 1 May 2012 as starting defender, beating A.S.G. Nocerina 2–0. The team also rested a number of players in order to prepare for the next match against eighth placed Brescia. On the same day that the first team played against Brescia, Albertazzi started for the reserves against Fiorentina in the second round of the playoffs on 5 May 2012. Albertazzi returned to the first team again on 2 June, for the away match of the promotion playoffs. He was named in the reserve squad for the playoffs quarterfinals held in the Province of Perugia, but did not travel with the team. He remained in the first team squad (for the finals first leg only) after the reserves were eliminated by Roma, but Albertazzi failed to make the starting lineup or the bench.
