Jorvan Vieira (born September 29, 1953 in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil) is a Brazilian-Portuguese football coach.

Vieira began his professional football career after studying Sports Medicine for three years, playing for top Brazilian clubs Vasco da Gama, Botafogo and Portuguesa in the 1970s. He went on to coach all three clubs after hanging up his boots and since those days has coached 26 club teams and five national squads.

Vieira took his first overseas position in 1980 when he became coach of Qatar Sports Club for a season before taking charge of the Oman Under-20 side a year later. He then moved on to Africa where he spent over eight years in Morocco. During that time he managed several Moroccan club sides including FAR Rabat, whom he led to the 1987 and 1989 league championships and the 1986 Moroccan Cup, as well as Wydad Athletic Club, TS Casablanca and IR Tanger.

Vieira was appointed assistant manager to the Moroccan national side for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. Alongside compatriot José Faria he led Morocco into the second round of the tournament as group winners ahead of England, Portugal and Poland, becoming the first African side to do so in the process.
