Elano Blumer (born June 14, 1981 in Iracemápolis, São Paulo) is a Brazilian football (soccer) player. He currently plays as an attacking midfielder for FC Shakhtar Donetsk, having signed for the Ukrainian outfit for 7.6 milion euro in 2004 after contributions to two league titles and a final run in the Copa Libertadores for Santos FC that resulted in a place among El Paris's South American All-Stars in both 2003 and 2004. Although he was not a regular in his first season in Ukraine, Elano has since firmly established his credentials as a key player at the club. Elano became the first player from the Ukrainian Premier League to represent the Brazilian national team, when he was called up for the Brazil vs. Norway game on August 16, 2006. Elano is regarded as a technically gifted player, able to strike the ball equally well with both feet.

He has 10 caps with the Brazilian national team, the first one in January, 2004. He scored his first two international goals in the September 2006 friendly win against Argentina on the 3rd of September. Carlos Dunga, current Brazilian national coach, described Elano as the key player for the national team, who will represent Dunga's ideas about creating a perfect balance from defence to attack with intelligent movement of the ball.
