Ricardo Jorge Cecília Batista (born 19 November 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Angolan club C.R.D. Libolo as a goalkeeper.
Born in Setúbal, Batista started his career with hometown's Vitória FC. In late 2004, aged only 18, he was signed by English club Fulham. His only official appearance for the Premier League side was in September of that year against Lincoln City for the season's League Cup: the Cottagers won the game 5–4, but the player's performance was error-prone, gifting the visitors several goals; he spent the better part of his first season as a senior on loan to Milton Keynes Dons, in League Two.
In the same predicament, Batista then had two spells at League One's Wycombe Wanderers, renewing his contract with Fulham on 12 July 2007. He was released in the 2008 summer.
On 16 July 2008, Batista signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal for a fee of €158,000. He was only third-choice during his two-year spell with the Lisbon club, his input consisting of the match against F.C. Paços de Ferreira for the 2008–09 edition of the Portuguese League Cup (5–1 home win).
