Mauro Ramos, full name Mauro Ramos de Oliveira, (August 30, 1930 in Poços de Caldas – September 18, 2002) was an association footballer. He played centre-back for São Paulo F.C., Santos F.C. and the Brazilian national team.

Many claim he is the second best Brazilian centre back of all time, behind Da Guia. Although not the quickest, he was a fine header of the ball and a strong tackler.

He received 22 caps with the Brazilian national team. He was an unplaying member of the Brazil squad at the 1954 World Cup. He was also an unplaying member of the squad that won the 1958 World Cup. At the 1962 World Cup he finally made his World Cup debut and as team captain he lifted the World Cup Trophy after victory in the final over Czechoslovakia.
