Luca Tedeschi (born 27 February 1987) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender.

Bologna
Tedeschi started his career at Bologna. He was a member of the under-17 youth team in 2003–04 season, which plays in the "Allievi Nazionali", a national youth league. He made his Serie A debut on 10 November 2004, in a 2–2 away draw against Internazionale.

He was sent on loan to Serie C1 side Cremonese during the 2006–07 season. He played 30 games in the league as well as 2 additional games in the Italian cup. He also played at least once in the 2006–07 Coppa Italia Serie C.

Treviso
In mid-2007, Tedeschi was bought by Treviso on a co-ownership deal, for €700,000 fee, with Dino Fava moved to opposite direction also on a co-ownership deal, for €900,000 fee. After making no appearances during the first half of the season, he was sent out to Spezia on loan. On 31 August 2008 he left for Ternana. In June 2009 Treviso signed Tedeschi outright for another €1,000 fee, while Massimo Coda moved to opposite direction for another €100,000, who was bought in 2008 in exchange for Fava. However, Tedeschi became a free agent after Treviso bankrupted in the same transfer window.

Parma and loans
On 24 July 2009 he left for Parma on a free transfer. He was immediately signed by his former club Ternana on a co-ownership deal for a mere €500. In June 2010, Parma bought back Tedeschi for about €121,000.

Tedeschi left for Crotone on a temporary deal with an option to sign half of the player's registration rights. Crotone excised the rights in July 2011 for €500, and in June 2012, Parma bought back Tedeschi once again, for an undisclosed fee. He was awarded the number 56 shirt, before he left for Cremonese again on 9 August 2012. Parma also subsidized €90,000 to Cremonese as premi di valorizzazione.
