Aldo Maldera (14 October 1953 – 1 August 2012) was an Italian footballer.


The third son of a family of Apulian immigrants in Milan, he spent a large part of his career with A.C. Milan. He played also for Bologna F.C. 1909, Internazionale, A.S. Roma and A.C. Fiorentina, and won a total two Serie A titles, at AC Milan and AS Roma respectively, both under the tutelage of Nils Liedholm.^[1]


He represented Italy at the 1978 FIFA World Cup,^[2] and Euro 1980.


His older brothers Luigi Maldera and Attilio Maldera both played football professionally. To distinguish them, Luigi was referred to as Maldera I, Attilio as Maldera II and Aldo as Maldera III.
