Cristian Gabriel "Cuti" Romero (born 27 April 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Atlético Madrid and captains the Argentina national team.
Coming through the youth system, Romero began his senior career in 2016 at Belgrano. He moved to Italy in 2018, playing for Genoa. Romero was purchased by Juventus the following season; he was sent back on loan to Genoa before being sent on loan to Atalanta in 2020.

Romero represented Argentina at the youth level at the 2017 South American U-20 Championship. He made his senior debut in 2021 and was a key member of the squads that won the 2021 Copa América, 2022 FIFA World Cup, and 2024 Copa América, also appearing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Argentina reached runners-up in the final.
