Jorge Orosmán da Silva Echeverrito (born 11 December 1961) is a Uruguayan former footballer who played as a striker, and a current manager.

Nicknamed "Polilla" ("Moth" in English), he played professionally in four countries his own notwithstanding. In 2007, he embarked in a managerial career.

Da Silva played nearly 30 times with Uruguay, representing the nation at the 1986 World Cup and the 1993 Copa América tournaments.

Born in Montevideo, da Silva made his debut in 1977 for Centro Atlético Fénix. He then had a short spell with Danubio F.C. before joining Defensor Sporting in 1978.

In late 1982, da Silva moved to Spain, where he started playing for Real Valladolid and won the Pichichi Trophy (for the league's top scorer) in 1983–84, with 17 goals in 30 matches. He was only the second club player ever to win the award, and he also help add its first piece of silverware in the same season, the Copa de la Liga; he then represented Atlético Madrid after Hugo Sánchez left for Real Madrid, and netted 21 La Liga goals in two seasons, helping the team to the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de España, both in 1985.
