Guilherme de Cássio Alves (born 8 May 1974), known simply as Guilherme, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a striker, and the current coach.

In his country, he played with eight clubs with different fortunes, and also competed professionally in Spain and Saudi Arabia during a 13-year career. Over the course of 11 Série A seasons, he amassed totals of 155 games and 68 goals.

Guilherme appeared with the Brazilian national team at the 2001 Copa América. In 2011, he started working as a manager.

Born in Marília, São Paulo, Guilherme started his professional career at age 18 with local Marília Atlético Clube. After a few games, São Paulo FC manager Telê Santana signed him, and he played a relatively important part in the club's conquests in the following two years: the Supercopa Sudamericana, the Copa Libertadores, the Intercontinental Cup, the Copa CONMEBOL and the Recopa Sudamericana.

In January 1995, Guilherme left for Spain and joined Rayo Vallecano, scoring 14 goals in only 17 matches (half-a-season) as the team achieved promotion to La Liga. During the following two campaigns, he continued to net in double digits, but they returned to the second division at the end of the latter.
