Giusepe Abruzzese (born 17 May 1981) is a former Italian footballer who played as a defender for Audace Cerignola.

In July 2002, he left for Serie B side Lecce in co-ownership deal for undisclosed fee.

Andria also signed Stefano Morello and Carmine Nuzzaci as part of the deal for undisclosed fees.

In the next season he lost his place both in starting line-up and often as unused substitute, under new coach Zdeněk Zeman who replaced Delio Rossi.

In July 2007, he was signed by Serie B newcomer Grosseto,[citation needed] which he immediately secured a place in starting line-up.
