Matheus Fellipe Costa Pereira (born 5 May 1996) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Sporting CP as a right winger.
Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Pereira moved to Portugal at a young age, joining Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system at the age of 14. On 18 January 2014, whilst still a junior, he made his debut as a senior with the B-team, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Cristian Ponde in a 1–1 away draw against C.D. Trofense for the Segunda Liga championship. He scored his first goal in the competition on 7 March of the following year, contributing to a 4–3 home win over C.D. Tondela.
Early into the 2015–16 season, Pereira was first called to the main squad by newly appointed manager Jorge Jesus. His first competitive appearance took place on 1 October, as he started in a 1–1 draw at Beşiktaş J.K. for the UEFA Europa League. Late in the same month he scored his first goals as a professional, helping defeat U.D. Vilafranquense in the Taça de Portugal (4–0, away) and KF Skënderbeu Korçë in the Europa League (5–1, home), being subsequently selected for the latter competition's team of the week.
