This is a list of ACF Fiorentina players who have been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.

History and regulations

ACF Fiorentina's Hall of Fame has been launched in 2012, resulting from a collaboration between ACF Fiorentina and Museo Fiorentina.[1] Fiorentina has been the first Italian football club to launch such initiative.[2][3]

The award is given to players, managers, sporting directors, staff members, and historical supporters who have significantly marked the club's history.[1] The inductees are selected by Museo Fiorentina and voted by a jury elected by the Collegio del Marzocco.[1] The recipient are rewarded with the Marzocco Viola award, a statuette designed by the artist Marco Cantini and made by the silversmith Federico Sassoli. Portraits of the recipients are also made by Claudio Sacchi.[4]

The 2020 edition was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
