Lindy Infante (born May 27, 1940) was head coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1988 to December 22, 1991 and of the Indianapolis Colts from 1996 to 1997. He received his Bachelors degree from the University of Florida.

Infante also was the offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns during the Bernie Kosar years in the mid 80's.
