Renzo Ulivieri (born February 2, 1941 in San Miniato, Pisa) is an Italian football (soccer) manager. He is currently head coach of Serie B club Bologna.

After a very short playing career as midfielder for the Fiorentina youth team and Serie C team Cuoiopelli, Ulivieri became coach exactly for Cuoiopelli in 1966, after the team relegated to Serie D. He then coached several other amateur teams in Tuscany, such as San Miniato, Fucecchio, and Prato youth squad. In 1972, he joined Serie C side Empoli, where he served as head coach for three seasons. After two years as Fiorentina youth coach, Ulivieri signed for Ternana of Serie B in 1978. He made his Serie A debut in 1980 for Perugia. Since then, Ulivieri served as head coach for numerous clubs all around the country. His best results are a double consecutive promotion from Serie C1 to Serie A with Bologna, a Torneo di Viareggio with Fiorentina in 1978, and a promotion to Serie A with Sampdoria in 1981/1982. He returned to coach Bologna in 2005, but was fired soon after after a serie of poor results. He was however recalled on March 2006, after his replacement Andrea Mandorlini did not manager to improve results.

Ulivieri is among the most experienced head coaches in Italy, and is also head of the Italian Head Coaches' Association. He is well known for his left-wing political stance (he is a Democrats of the Left, and former Italian Communist Party, member), very uncommon in the Italian football world.
