Aldo Bet ({{IPA|it|ˈaldo ˈbɛt}}; 26 March 1949 – 12 November 2023) was an Italian professional footballer who played as a defender. An old-fashioned stopper, he was a sturdy and physically imposing defender, who was known for his tenacious man marking of opposing players.{{cite web|url=https://www.acmilan.com/en/aldo-bet|title=A.C.

Career
An Inter Milan youth product, Bet was later promoted to the senior squad, before manager Helenio Herrera brought him to Roma, where he made his breakthrough, winning a Coppa Italia, and also earning a call-up to play for the Italy national team. After five seasons with Roma, and one with Verona, he joined AC Milan in the summer of 1974. He was usually paired alongside a sweeper in the team's defence: first Maurizio Turone, and later a young Franco Baresi; he won a second Coppa Italia with Milan, and was a member of the team that won club's tenth league title in 1979.
Death
Bet died in Varese on 12 November 2023, at the age of 74.{{cite news |title=Addio ad Aldo Bet: simbolo del Milan, vinse lo scudetto della stella |url=https://www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it/calcio/aldo-bet-morto-milan_72814389-202302k.shtml |access-date=13 November 2023 |publisher=TGCOM24 |date=12 November 2023}}
