Salvatore Sirigu (Italian pronunciation: , Sardinian: ; born 12 January 1987) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Torino and the Italy national team.

He began his career with Venezia, and then Palermo. In 2011, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain. Twice voted the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year, his honours at the club include four consecutive league titles, and all four domestic competitions in both the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons. After spending the 2016–17 season on loan to Sevilla and Osasuna, he was signed by Torino in 2017.

A former Italy youth international, Sirigu made his Italy senior debut in 2010, and was selected for UEFA Euro 2012, the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016.

Born in Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy, Sirigu started his football career in Venezia's youth system playing as a midfielder. He was known for his powerful back heels which he used to take penalty kicks. He had been training as an attacker for a local amateur side, Puri e Forti, at 11 years old, when coaches concluded that his asthma condition would hinder him too much as an outfield player. Instead, observing Sirigu's unusually large hands, they told him to have a go in goal.
