Paulo André Rodrigues de Oliveira (born 8 January 1992) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal as a central defender.

Born in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Braga District, Oliveira was a youth product at Vitória de Guimarães, joining the club's ranks at the age of 13. He made his professional debuts in the 2011–12 season, on loan to F.C. Penafiel in the second division.

Oliveira returned for the 2012–13 campaign, but started with the reserves also in the second level. His first official appearance with the main squad occurred on 5 January 2013, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Gil Vicente F.C. for the Primeira Liga championship; he also contributed with four appearances in the Minho team's successful campaign in the Portuguese Cup, including the final win over S.L. Benfica.

On 19 May 2014, Oliveira signed a five-year deal with fellow league side Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Oliveira gained 45 caps for Portugal at youth level, including 22 for the under-21s. He made his debut with the full side on 31 March 2015, starting in a 0–2 friendly defeat against Cape Verde in Estoril.
