José Edmílson Gomes de Moraes (born 10 July 1976), known simply as Edmílson, is a retired Brazilian footballer.
Either a defensive midfielder or a central defender, he played in three countries in his professional career, representing with team and individual success São Paulo, Lyon and Barcelona (four seasons each in the last two clubs).
Having won 40 caps with Brazil, Edmilson represented the nation at the 2002 World Cup, helping it win the tournament.
Born in Taquaritinga, São Paulo, Edmílson signed for São Paulo FC in 1994, winning the Campeonato Paulista titles in 1998 and 2000, adding the 1994 Copa CONMEBOL and the subsequent Recopa Sudamericana.
In the summer of 2000, he signed for Olympique Lyonnais in France at the same time as compatriot Caçapa, also a stopper, both being important as the club won the League Cup in his first season. In the ensuing off-season Juninho Pernambucano also made the move to the Rhône-Alpes, and often partnered Edmílson in central midfield as they went on to win three consecutive Ligue 1 titles.
