Marcos André Batista dos Santos, best known as Vampeta (; born 13 March 1974) is a Brazilian football pundit and retired footballer. A former midfielder, he represented Brazil national team from 1998 until 2002, winning the 1999 Copa América and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Vampeta, his nickname, is a fusion of the words "vampiro" (Portuguese for vampire) and "capeta" (Portuguese slang for devil), because his childhood friends thought he was ugly and toothless.
