Miguel Alexandre Jesus Rosa (born 13 January 1989) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.F. Os Belenenses as a midfielder.
A product of hometown's S.L. Benfica's youth system, Lisbon-born Rosa joined the club at the age of nine. In a 2006–07 end-of-season friendly with AEK Athens FC, courtesy of manager Fernando Santos, he made his debut with the first team, replacing legendary Rui Costa; he eventually returned to the juniors, scoring 18 goals in his last year in the category.
In the following three seasons, Rosa would be loaned by Benfica, always to clubs in the second division. On 31 August 2008 he made his professional debut, playing 17 minutes for G.D. Estoril Praia in a 0–0 home draw against U.D. Oliveirense, and was voted the league's Young Player of the Month in December 2008. He scored ten goals in the 2009–10 campaign for A.D. Carregado (13 overall) who were competing in that level for the first time ever, eventually being relegated back.
In 2010–11, with C.F. Os Belenenses, Rosa was often played as a second striker instead of his favoured attacking midfielder position. He finished with 11 goals in all competitions, and was named the Player of the Year.
