Michaël Ciani (born 6 April 1984) is a French professional footballer who plays for French club FC Lorient as a central defender.
His performances during the 2008–09 season led to increased speculation that Ciani would sign with another club with the player preferring a move to the Premier League over Ligue 1 contenders Bordeaux and Paris Saint-Germain.
On 28 July 2009, Ciani and Bordeaux reached an agreement on a four-year contract with the Aquitaine-based club paying Lorient €4 million for his services. The defender was recruited by Laurent Blanc as a replacement for the departed Souleymane Diawara who joined Marseille.
On 18 July 2015, Ciani reached an agreement on a 2-year contract with Sporting CP after his 3-year contract with Lazio ended. Roughly one month later, however, he signed a two-year deal with RCD Espanyol.
On 31 August 2016, after only three matches for the Pericos, Ciani rescinded his contract.
Ciani made his international debut for France in 2010.
