Luiz de Araújo Guimarães Neto (born 2 June 1996), known as Luiz Araújo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for São Paulo FC as a forward.
Born in Taquaritinga, São Paulo, Luiz Araújo represented Mirassol as a youth, being promoted to the first team in January 2013. In March, he moved to São Paulo, returning to youth football.
On 26 February 2016, after being the top goalscorer of that year's U-20 Copa Libertadores, Luiz Araújo was loaned to Grêmio Novorizontino until the end of 2016 Campeonato Paulista. He made his professional debut on 19 March, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against XV de Piracicaba.
Returning to Tricolor in April 2016, Luiz Araújo was immediately included in the first team and made his Série A debut on 5 June, replacing Ytalo in a 1–0 away win against Cruzeiro.
