Roberto Oscar Bonano (born 24 January 1970) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Already in his 30's, he moved from River Plate to Spain, where he played the remainder of his 17-year professional career, representing three teams, mainly Alavés.
Bonano appeared with Argentina at the 2002 World Cup.
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Bonano represented in his native country Rosario Central and Club Atlético River Plate, winning several titles with the latter including five national championships. In 2001, at 31, he moved to FC Barcelona, initially as first-choice; he made his La Liga debut on 26 August of that year, in a 2–1 away win against Sevilla FC.
After the emergence of Víctor Valdés from the Catalans' youth ranks, Bonano was deemed surplus to requirements and signed with Real Murcia, joining Deportivo Alavés in Segunda División in the 2004 summer after his team's relegation. With the Basques, he was instrumental in a 2005 top flight promotion but, in the following campaign, played second-fiddle to compatriot Franco Costanzo who also played with him at River, as the season ended in relegation.
