Henrique Hilário Meireles Sampaio (born 21 October 1975), commonly known as Hilário, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He spent most of his extensive professional career with Porto and Chelsea, mainly as a backup. He appeared in 160 Primeira Liga games, during nine seasons.
Hilário was born in São Pedro da Cova, Porto District. After emerging through FC Porto's youth system, he left and began playing professionally with lowly Associação Naval 1º de Maio and Académica de Coimbra – respectively in the third and second divisions.
Hilário returned to Porto for the 1996–97 season, after Vítor Baía's departure to FC Barcelona, appearing in 18 games as the club won the national championship for the third straight time. He soon would be deemed surplus to requirements however (Baía also returned from Spain in January 1999), being loaned three times during his spell with the club, with C.F. Estrela da Amadora, Varzim SC, Académica and C.D. Nacional, while also being demoted to the team's reserves.
Released by Porto in the 2004 summer, Hilário signed with Madeira's Nacional on a permanent basis, playing 29 matches in his first season but losing his importance after the arrival of Swiss Diego Benaglio.
