Bruno Miguel Fernandes Ribeiro (born August 22, 1975 in Setúbal) is a Portuguese footballer playing as left midfielder for Portugal's Vitória Futebol Clube. His main asset is a powerful left-foot strike.

After making his professional debuts with hometown club Vitória de Setúbal in 1994, Ribeiro was signed by Leeds United manager George Graham in 1997, and was a key component of the rebuilding exercise that Graham had been brought in to do at Leeds. Injured at the start of the 1998-99 season, he never really regained his place in the midfield under new manager David O'Leary, and was eventually transferred to Sheffield United in October 1999 for £500,000.

In January 2001, Ribeiro returned to Portugal, on loan to União de Leiria, before moving to S.C. Beira-Mar in 2001-02. The following season he joined Azores's C.D. Santa Clara for another single season, rejoining Vitória Setúbal, where he started his professional career, in the following summer.
