Hermenegildo da Costa Paulo Bartolomeu, simply known as Geraldo (born November 23, 1991), is an Angolan international football midfielder who plays for Primeiro de Agosto.

Born in Luanda, he started his career in 2009, defending Angolan club Norberto de Castro, moving in the same year to Brazilian club Rio Claro, playing in the 2009 Copa São Paulo de Juniores. He joined Andraus of Curitiba after leaving Rio Claro.

In July 2009, after being observed by head coach René Simões in a friendly game between the reserve squads of Coritiba and Andraus, he was transferred to Coritiba youth team. He joined Coritiba's main squad in 2010, playing his first Série B game on May 8, 2010, at Estádio dos Aflitos, Recife, when his club was defeated 3-1 to Náutico and he came as a substitute for Renatinho. He scored his first Série B goal for Coritiba on November 20, 2010, when he scored a goal against Icasa at Romeirão stadium, thus helping his team win the 2010 edition of the league. Geraldo played his first Série A game on May 22, 2011, when he came up as a substitute for Lucas Mendes in the game against Atlético Goianiense, at Estádio Couto Pereira, won 1-0 by the opponent team.
