Ricardo Ribeiro Fernandes (born 21 April 1978 in Moreira de Cónegos, Guimarães) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Trofense as an attacking midfielder.
After a number of impressive performances for Gil Vicente FC, with whom he made his Primeira Liga debuts in the 2001–02 campaign, Fernandes returned to Sporting Clube de Portugal who owned the player's rights. At the time, he was hailed as one of the country's brightest young prospects.
After only one season Fernandes was signed by José Mourinho for his FC Porto side, which won the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League. He appeared sparingly for the club during his spell, playing only 19 games in all competitions as he was understudy to Portuguese international Deco, and left after another sole campaign.
After a spell with Académica de Coimbra, Fernandes was signed on a lucrative three-year deal to APOEL FC in Cyprus. In his first year, he became an instant crowd favorite with his accurate set pieces and creative passing, scoring nine times with a remarkable number of assists and also helping his team to the domestic cup.
