Paulo Cézar Lima (born 16 June 1949 in Rio de Janeiro), commonly known as Caju, is a former football player from Brazil. He played as a midfielder or forward for many teams in Brazil and also played one year for Olympique de Marseille, a Ligue 1 team in France.

He spent his early years in Honduras, because his father was Club Deportivo Olimpia manager during 1960s. Caju was most widely known as a member of the Brazilian national team in the World Cup in 1970 and in 1974. With the Brazilian national team he collected 57 caps and 10 goals. This recognition, in an era dominated by Pelé, Tostao, Rivelino and Jairzinho, is impressive. In fact, he featured heavily in the national team throughout very successful years.

Caju began his career with Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, where his team won the Campeonato Carioca (championship of the state of Rio de Janeiro) several times and many more trophies in the end became one of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatass all-time greatest and most honoured players.

Caju featured in the Brazilian Bola de Ouro team of the season in Brazil in the seasons 1970, 1972, 1976, 1977.
