Tiago Emanuel Canelas Almeida Ferreira (born 10 July 1993) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Romanian club CS Universitatea Craiova.

Born in Porto, Ferreira played youth football with five clubs in the area, finishing his formation with FC Porto after joining at the age of 14. He made his professional debuts with the B-team that competed in the second division, his first appearance in the competition being on 12 August 2012 in a 2–2 away draw against C.D. Tondela.

Ferreira played 35 games and scored one goal in the 2013–14 season to help his team to a final runner-up position in the second level, but the reserves were ineligible for promotion. In the 2014 summer, after failing to appear once in official matches for the main squad, he was released.

On 15 July 2014, free agent Ferreira signed a four-year contract with S.V. Zulte Waregem. He made his Belgian Pro League debut on 3 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 loss at K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen.

Ferreira returned to his country in the 2015 off-season, joining C.F. União on a three-year deal. His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga took place on 28 November, when he played one minute in a 2–2 away draw against Vitória de Setúbal.

Sparingly played by manager Luís Norton de Matos in his debut campaign, Ferreira also saw his team be relegated. He asked to be released from contract in May 2017 claiming unpaid wages, which led to criticism from club president Filipe Silva.
