Federico Insúa (born January 3, 1980) is an Argentine retired footballer who played 14 times for the Argentina national team.

On July 28, 2006, Insúa transferred for €4 million to German Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, which hoped to fill a gap in its offensive midfield.
He couldn't gain a single minute of play with new manager Jorge Almirón and in October 2014 he was fired by president Hugo Moyano.
