Deco, all'anagrafe Anderson Luís de Souza (São Bernardo do Campo, 27 agosto 1977), è un procuratore sportivo ed ex calciatore brasiliano naturalizzato portoghese, di ruolo centrocampista. Considerato uno dei migliori centrocampisti della sua generazione, è uno dei pochi calciatori ad aver vinto la UEFA Champions League con due squadre diverse, Porto e Barcellona. Il 26 agosto 2013, alla vigilia del 36º compleanno, annunciò il proprio ritiro a causa dei numerosi infortuni subiti negli ultimi tempi, dai quali non era mai riuscito del tutto a recuperare. Nel 1999 fu eletto dal quotidiano portoghese Record "rivelazione dell'anno".
