Sônia Maria Vieira Gonçalves (born August 23, 1942), better known by her stage name Susana Vieira and Suzana Vieira, is a Brazilian actress.

She was born in São Paulo, the daughter of Mário Vieira Gonçalves, a military in the Embassy of Brazil in Buenos Aires, and Maria da Conceição, who also worked in the Embassy. Graduated in classical ballet, she joined the corps de ballet Grande Teatro Tupi in 1961. Eventually, she debuted as actress in A Noite Eterna, a 1962 telenovela. Since then, Susana has worked in several Rede Globo telenovelas.

She debuted as a singer with the album Brasil Encena published by Albatroz Music on December 19, 2010. However, she stated that she doesn't intend to start a career as singer.

Susana was married, from 1961 to 1972, to director Régis Cardoso, with whom she had a son called Rodrigo. She got married to Carson Gardeazabal in 1986, a relationship which ended in 2003. Later, in September 2006, she married Marcelo Silva. However, she divorced him in November 2008 after discovering he had a mistress. In 2009, she got engaged to the magician Sandro Pedroso but in early 2014, they broke up. By her own words, in Brazil there's no one as powerful as her and God.
