Mehmet Aurélio (born Marco Aurélio Brito dos Prazeres, 15 December 1977) is a Brazilian-born Turkish football coach and retired footballer, who currently is the assistant manager of Sakaryaspor.

The midfielder started his career in the country of his birth with Flamengo, where he made over 100 appearances, before joining Olaria.

He moved to Turkey with Trabzonspor in June 2001 and on to Fenerbahçe in June 2003, where he has become a key member of the squad. During his time in Turkey he has won a number of honours, including the three league titles and the Turkish Super Cup with Fenerbahce and the Turkish Cup with Trabzonspor. He would then leave for Spanish side Real Betis playing 69 games and scoring 6 goals before returning to Turkey on free transfer, signing a 2-year contract with Beşiktaş. His wage would be basic salary plus bonus per number of game he played. On 11 May 2011, he converted his penalty in the shootout as the Istanbul team won the Turkish Cup against İstanbul BB (4–3, 2–2 after extra time). His contract with Beşiktaş expired in summer 2012.
