Duas Caras (English: Two Faces) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Rede Globo from 1 October 2007 to 31 May 2008, replacing Paraíso Tropical and followed by A Favorita. It is created by Aguinaldo Silva and directed by Wolf Maya. Starring Dalton Vigh, Marjorie Estiano, Alinne Moraes, Débora Falabella, Lázaro Ramos, Letícia Spiller, Betty Faria, Flávia Alessandra, Renata Sorrah, Suzana Vieira, and Antônio Fagundes.

It is the first telenovelas to be produced on High-definition by Rede Globo at the 8 pm timeslot.

The telenovela spans through Maria Paula's revenge against Marconi Ferraço, her ex-husband that robbed her off all her inheritance.

In the past, as Adalberto Rangel, he met and seduced Maria Paula. With a calculated coldheart, he married her, stole her fortune, then abandoned her, unaware she was pregnant at the time. Ten years later, accompanied by her son Renato, Maria Paula plots to recover her dignity and to find justice by getting revenge against the indignities done to her.

Adalberto Rangel, born Juvenaldo, lived with his poor father and siblings in a favela. Having no way to sustain the family, his father sold him (a boy) to Hermógenes Rangel, a thief. Some time later, Adalberto decides to make his own fortune without depending on his mentor. He steals all of Hermógenes' money, and flees.

During the escape, a serious car accident occurs, killing a couple. While searching the dead couple's car, Adalberto discovers a suitcase containing money, pictures and personal effects of their daughter. He proceeds to the fictitious city of Passaredo (adapted from São Bento do Sul, Santa Catarina) to meet the orphaned Maria Paula.
