Adalberto Román Benítez (born 11 April 1987), is a Paraguayan footballer who most recently played for Club Sportivo San Lorenzo.

Román started his carry in 2006 with Libertad on a 5–1 victory over 12 de Octubre, scoring his first professional goal on that same game.

[2][3] Román made his debut in the fourth round of the 2010 Apertura against Argentinos Juniors, a match that ended in a scoreless draw.

After that match, the fans started calling him the Paraguayan Maldini, despite playing out of position mostly filling as right-back.

Despite criticism of River Plate fans, Román was still included in the Nacional B squad but manager Matías Almeyda only used him during a 2–0 defeat against Atlético Tucumán in November 13.
