Adriano Vieira Louzada (born 3 January 1979), known simply as Adriano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 145 games and 62 goals over the course of seven seasons in representation of Nacional, Porto and Braga and winning five major titles with the second.
Adriano was born in Rio Branco, Acre. He started playing in 1998 for Associação Portuguesa de Desportos then went on to represent, in his country, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.
Switching to Portugal in 2002, Adriano began playing with Madeira's C.D. Nacional. After a quick return stint in Brazil with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube he joined FC Porto in January 2006, and gradually made his way into the starting eleven, helping the northern club conquer the Primeira Liga championship and also scoring the winning goal in that year's Portuguese Cup final.
After Lisandro López's conversion into the striker position, Adriano lost his starting job, but was often brought in from the bench. In August 2008 he was due for a transfer to fellow league side C.F. Os Belenenses; however, he refused, choosing to stay at Porto and fight for a place, but did not appear in a single competitive game throughout the 2008–09 season.
