Bernardo Corradi (born 30 March 1976 in Siena) is an Italian footballer, who plays in the position of striker. He plays in England for Manchester City.

Corradi began his career in Italy with Cagliari. Here, he was loaned out to Montevarchi and Andria. In 2001 he signed for Chievo (jointly with Inter), where he spent one season. He returned to Inter in the summer of 2002, but after Inter signed Hernán Crespo, Corradi left for Lazio (part of transfer) after playing just one game, against Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Corradi signed for Valencia in the summer of 2004, along with Lazio teammate Stefano Fiore, in a deal which also repaid unpaid transfer fees incurred when Gaizka Mendieta moved from Valencia to Lazio. However, once compatriot coach Claudio Ranieri left the club, he found his first team appearances becoming less frequent. He was loaned to Parma for the 2005/06 season, where he scored ten times in 36 appearances. In the 2006 close season he was sold by Valencia to Manchester City for an undisclosed fee on 20th July, signing a three year contract with the Manchester club.[1]

Corradi made his Manchester City debut in the opening match of the 2006-07 Premier League season against Chelsea, but was sent off after receiving a second yellow card due to his reaction to an incident involving Michael Essien.[2] It took Corradi until his 13th Manchester City appearance before he scored his first goals for the club, when he scored twice against Fulham on 18 November 2006, becoming the first Italian to score for the Blues. In December Corradi was again sent off for two yellow cards, this time against Manchester United. The sending off in the derby infuriated Stuart Pearce, when asked on Match of the Day about it he said "I'm not gonna give you some bullshit reason about why my player went down! I'm gonna to have a word with him about why he has done it and make sure he doesn't do it again."

He has 13 caps for Italy, scoring two goals. He was also selected for their Euro 2004 squad.
