Attilio Ferraris IV (26 March 1904 – 8 May 1947) was an Italian footballer. He played as a defensive midfielder for teams in Italy, including Fortitudo Roma and it's successor AS Roma, Lazio and Bari, and Catania.

Ferraris was capped 28 times for Italy between 1926 and 1935, and was part of their team at the 1928 Summer Olympics and the 1934 FIFA World Cup. He also played for them at the 1927–1930 and 1931–32 Central European International Cup. At the 1934 FIFA World Cup, he played good enough to be included in the Team of the Tournament.

Ferraris was known for his wild life, which included gambling and chain smoking. He died on 8 May 1947, after collapsing while playing in an old-timers' match.
