Filipe de Andrade Teixeira (born October 2, 1980 in Paris, France) is a Portuguese footballer. He currently plays with Academica de Coimbra in the Superliga.

Teixeira started his career with Felgueiras in the Portuguese Third Division after good showings with the Third Division club. He then sealed a deal with Ligue 1 Club Istres after a good season, he soon left for Paris SG where he and Ronaldinho where considered the best midfielders in Ligue 1 but after a dispute with the coach and heavy competition with Ronaldinho after the club formation was changed he soon left for Vitor Pontes's leiria alongside Hugo Almeida and Luis Filipe. After an impressive season he left again for Paris where the squad had three Portuguese players Pedro Pauleta Hugo Leal and himself after another seemingly good season Lyon were interested in him and Luis Loureiro but he then left for Academica de Coimbra to better his chance for playing with Portugal.
