Ester Aparecida dos Santos (born 9 December 1982), commonly known mononymously as Ester, is a Brazilian association football player. She currently plays as a "volante" (defensive midfielder) for BV Cloppenburg of the German Frauen-Bundesliga. Ester was part of the Brazil women's national football team who finished as runners–up in the 2007 World Cup and 2008 Summer Olympics.

Ester began playing as a child in her neighbourhood near the São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport. She was signed for Clube Atlético Juventus after a trial, then moved on to Santos FC.

In 2007 Ester played for CEPE-Caxias in Rio de Janeiro. She rejoined Santos in January 2008, following her successful season away.

In the 2008 WPS International Draft, Ester was selected by Sky Blue FC alongside compatriot Rosana, but did not join the team. Instead Ester found success in the Copa Libertadores Femenina with Santos in 2009 and 2010.

Ester was part of a Brazilian contingent at Russian champions WFC Rossiyanka in 2012, playing in the UEFA Women's Champions League defeat to Turbine Potsdam.
