Carlos Manuel de Oliveira Magalhães (born 25 February 1974 in Porto), aka Litos, is a former Portuguese international footballer, who played as a hard central defender.

Litos started playing football with S.C. Campomaiorense. After a small stint with Boavista F.C. and moves to G.D. Estoril-Praia and Rio Ave F.C., he rejoined the "axadrezados" ("chequereds"), being instrumental in the northern side's only league title in its history, in 2000-01, as team captain. He formed a formidable stopper duo with Pedro Emanuel, who would then move to F.C. Porto.

After the league title, Litos moved to "La Liga" side Málaga CF, with different fortunes in five seasons in Andalusia (two seasons as an undisputed starter, 20 appearances in the other three combined). In 2005-06, Málaga was relegated.

Litos joined Académica de Coimbra in 2006-07. After being first-choice in his first season, he was deemed surplus to requirements in the following, leaving "Os estudantes" (the students) and moving to Austrian Bundesliga outfit SV Salzburg in January 2008.

Litos gained 6 caps for Portugal, also representing the nation at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
