Renan Dal Zotto (born July 19, 1960) is a Brazilian former volleyball player who competed in three editions of the Summer Olympics and currently head coach of Brazil men's national volleyball team. He was born in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul. In 1980 he was part of the Brazilian team which finished fifth in the Olympic tournament. He played five matches.

Four years later he won the silver medal with the Brazilian team in the 1984 Olympic tournament. He played all six matches. At the 1988 Games he was a member of the Brazilian team which finished fourth in the 1988 Olympic tournament. He played all seven matches. As coach he worked mostly with clubs in Brazil, plus a season in Italy, all in the 1990s and 2000s. In 2017 he was appointed as the new head coach of the Brazil men's team, replacing Bernardo Rezende who was in office during the last sixteen years.[1][2]
