Bruno dos Santos Moraes (born 7 July 1984) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Portuguese club Varzim S.C. as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, starting in 2003 with Porto.
Born in Santos, São Paulo, Moraes arrived at only 19 to FC Porto in Portugal, from Santos FC. His career with the northern club would be marred by constant injuries– he played two Primeira Liga games in his debut season, and none whatsoever in 2005–06 and 2007–08.
Moraes' most productive season at Porto came in the 2006–07 campaign, as the Dragons won the national championship for the second year running. He played 18 matches and scored three goals the domestic league and the UEFA Champions League combined, notably appearing in both group stage matches against Hamburger SV and netting in the second, a 3–1 away win 1 on November 2006.
Moraes also spent one full season on loan to Vitória de Setúbal, where he appeared regularly, and started 2008–09 in the same predicament and with the same team, but the second spell was soon cut short due to injury. In January 2010, with a contract running until June, he returned to Porto, trying to persuade manager Jesualdo Ferreira to add him to the squad of the four-time national champions; he did not and was loaned one more time, now to another fellow league club Rio Ave FC.
