Aílton José Almeida or just Aílton (born August 20, 1984) is a Brazilian football player who currently plays for F.C. Copenhagen in the Danish Superliga.

He came to FCK from Swedish Örgryte IS on 1 January 2007 for 22 million Danish kroner.

He is a quick paced, technically capable striker with a proven track record from Sweden. But as of November 2007 he hasn't had his break-through in Copenhagen, and mostly participates as a substitute.

After the winter break in the 2007-08 season Aílton got a chance in the Danish Cup quarterfinals, where FCK was to face Næstved BK. He scored a goal in the beginning of the second half following an assist from his countryman José Júnior.
