Anderson Cléber Beraldo (born 27 April 1980), simply known as Anderson, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a centre back, and a current manager.

Anderson started playing professional football for Corinthians of São Paulo. He played at the team for five consecutive seasons, moving to Portugal in the middle of his sixth season.

In the summer of 2005 he was bought by S.L. Benfica of the Primeira Liga. He made his Benfica debut in the 2005 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira against Vitória de Setúbal on 13 August. Anderson would play alongside Luisão and help his side claim their first Supertaça in sixteen years. He would make his league debut on 20 August against Académica de Coimbra at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra in a goalless draw. He would score his first league goal for Benfica on 18 September in a league game at the Estádio da Luz in 4–0 victory over União de Leiria.

His first full season with Benfica saw him feature regularly in Benfica's starting eleven under the management of Ronald Koeman. He would play a pivotal role in Benfica's 2005–06 UEFA Champions League campaign where they reached the quarter-final stage where they would end up eliminated by FC Barcelona. Despite Benfica's successful UEFA Champions League campaign, their league campaign would prove to be a disappointing one as they would finish behind rivals Porto and Sporting CP. Anderson would end his first season with forty one appearances with four goals scored.
