Amido Baldé (born 16 May 1991) is a Guinea-Bissauan professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club C.S. Marítimo as a centre forward.
Baldé started his career with Sporting, being loaned several times for the duration of his contract. In 2013, he signed with Celtic.
Internationally, Baldé represented Portugal at youth level, helping the under-20 team finish second at the 2011 World Cup. In 2014, he decided to revert to playing for the country of his birth, Guinea-Bissau.
Born in Bissau, Baldé started his career with Sporting Clube de Portugal's farm team in Guinea-Bissau, Sporting Clube de Bissau. In 2008 he, alongside teammate Zezinho, moved to the Lisbon side to finish his formation, helping it to back-to-back junior championships – of the three in total in a row – by notably scoring 13 goals in 29 games in 2008–09.
Baldé split the 2010–11 season, his first as a senior, between C.D. Santa Clara (second division) and CD Badajoz (Spanish third level). In the following campaign, still owned by the Lions, he joined several Sporting teammates at Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in Belgium.
