Joaquim Manuel Sampaio da Silva, OIH (born 13 November 1975), known as Quim (Portuguese pronunciation: [kĩ]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Aves as a goalkeeper.

He played in nearly 400 Primeira Liga games during his career, over twelve seasons with Braga and six with Benfica, and won five major titles with the latter.

Quim represented Portugal at the 2006 World Cup and in two European Championships, earning 32 caps.

Born in Vila Nova de Famalicão, Braga District, Quim started his career at S.C. Braga.

He played his first game in the Primeira Liga during the 1994–95 season, becoming the club's undisputed first-choice in the following years.

Quim moved to S.L. Benfica in 2004 and was, at first, intermittent in keeping the goalkeeper spot at his new club, having shared the goal with José Moreira in the title-winning 2004–05 campaign. Next season he started as first-choice, but injury to him as well as Moreira saw Marcelo Moretto being signed during the winter break, controversially earning a place in the starting eleven.
