Filipe, fullname Filipe Luís Kasmirski, also Felipe in Brazil (born 9 August 1985 in Jaraguá do Sul), is a Brazilian International footballer of Polish and Italian descent, and holds Italian nationality. He currently plays with La Liga's Deportivo de La Coruña, operating in the left side, as a fullback or midfielder.

Coming from Figueirense Futebol Clube, Filipe had his first taste of football in Europe with Ajax Amsterdam in 2004, spending one full season there. On August 18, 2005, he was signed by C.A. Rentistas in Uruguay but was quickly snapped up by Real Madrid on loan. He would spent most of the season, however, with their B team.

In 2006, he was loaned again by Rentistas, this time to Deportivo de La Coruña, also in Spain, [cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind=2/newsId=449654.html|title=Depor sign left-back Filipe Luís|date=2006-08-26|accessdate=2008-03-02|publisher=UEFA.com] with a buy-out option of €2.2 million. He did not have many opportunities in that season and his loan was extended for a further year with the same buy-out clause. At the second season, without the presence of the spanish international Joan Capdevila, he went on to establish himself as Depor's first choice left-back and a key player for the team.

On June 10, 2008, Deportivo made effective the buy-out clause and Filipe signed a five-year contract. [cite web|url=http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/deportes/2008/06/11/0003_6895946.htm|title=Deportivo buys out Filipe Luís (Spanish)|date=2008-06-11|accessdate=2008-06-11|publisher=La Voz De Galicia]
