Matteo Pratichetti (born 27 July 1985 in Rome) is a former Italian rugby union player.

Pratichetti's father, Oreste, was a rugby player and coach, his uncle Carlo was capped several times for Italy in the 1980s, and his brother Andrea was his teammate at Calvisano for the 2008–09 season.

Since his adolescence, Pratichetti played in the UR Capitolina's (one of the several Roman rugby union teams) youth squad; in 2004, at 19, he moved to Calvisano in the Super 10 and won the Italian Championship at the end of his debut season with his new club.

His first cap for Italy was in November 2004 against the All Blacks; his 2nd cap was more than 2 years later in the 2007 Six Nations Championship, with Pierre Berbizier as Italy's head coach.

Berbizier included Pratichetti in the Italy squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Also the new head coach Nick Mallett included Pratichetti in the squad for the 2008 Summer tour of South Africa and Argentina.

Pratichetti won one more Super 10 with Calvisano in 2008. In June 2010 he joined Aironi.{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/notes/aironi-rugby/la-rosa-degli-aironi-al-1-luglio-2010-e-i-primi-convocati-al-raduno-del-5-luglio/136380996379618 |title=La rosa degli AIRONI al 1 Luglio 2010 e i primi convocati al raduno del 5 Luglio|date=5 May 2021 |website=Facebook |author=Aironi Rugby}}
