Rogério Mücke Ceni (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁoˈʒɛɾiu ˈsẽni]; born 22 January 1973) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper and is the current manager of São Paulo FC.

Most of his vast professional career, which had spanned 25 years and 1,257 professional club matches, was associated with São Paulo, with which he won 20 major titles, including three Brazilian Leagues and two Copa Libertadores. He also scored 131 goals during his career, with all of them coming from free kicks and penalties, being recognised by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the history of football.

Ceni also represented Brazil 16 times over the course of his career, being part of the squads that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Born in Pato Branco, Paraná, Ceni made his senior debuts with Sinop Futebol Clube, still a junior. In 1990, the 17-year-old joined São Paulo FC, spending his first six seasons in Série A as a backup or third-choice.
