Ricardo Jorge Rodrigues Pessoa (born 5 February 1982) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Portimonense S.C. as a right back.

Born in Vendas Novas, Évora District, Pessoa started his professional career with Vitória de Setúbal, being sparingly used during his four-year spell with the Sado River club. He appeared in 20 games as the team returned to the Primeira Liga in 2004 after one year of absence, but only amassed ten appearances in that category in three seasons combined.

In the 2005 summer, Pessoa returned to the second division and signed for Portimonense SC, being an undisputed starter from the beginnings and also eventually gaining captaincy. In the 2009–10 campaign he scored six goals – whilst appearing in all 30 league matches – as the Algarve team returned to the top level after 20 years.
