Feriana "Fery" Ferraguzzi (born 20 February 1959) is an Italian football coach and former midfielder, who is currently the technical director of BeNe League club Standard Fémina de Liège.

A box-to-box midfielder, Ferraguzzi won two Serie A titles with SS Lazio in 1979 and 1980 before accepting a transfer offer from Standard Fémina de Liège of 2,000,000 lire plus accommodation.

An administrative error by Lazio meant that Ferraguzzi moved to Standard Fémina with no transfer fee. Lazio complained to FIFA and got her banned from the national team for two years.

Overall, Ferraguzzi was a member of the Italy women's national football team from 1975 until 1993, and scored Italy's first official World Cup goal in 1991. She retired from international football aged 34, after playing in Italy's 1–0 UEFA Women's Euro 1993 final defeat to Norway, and being named Player of the Tournament.
