Jorge Manuel da Silva Paixão Santos (born 19 December 1965), known as Paixão, is a Portuguese football manager and a former player who played as a striker.

Born in Almada, Setúbal District, Paixão's 11-year professional career was almost entirely spent in the Portuguese second and third divisions, representing Amora FC (two spells), C.F. União de Coimbra, Louletano D.C. and GD Bragança.

The exception to this was in the 1985–86 season, when he appeared three times as a substitute for Académica de Coimbra in the Primeira Liga. He retired in June 1995 at the age of 29, after a spell with amateurs Atlético Clube da Malveira.

Following retirement, Paixão moved into coaching. He first served as the assistant manager for two teams, before his first management role when in 2002 he was appointed head coach of Almada A.C. in the Setúbal Football Association. Over the next ten years he was in charge of several teams in the Portuguese Second Division, the third tier of Portuguese football, and also had spells abroad in Angola with C.R. Caála and Qatar with Al-Mesaimeer Sports Club.
