Adriano Vieira Louzada or Adriano (born January 3, 1979 in Rio Branco) is a Brazilian footballer, currently a striker with Portuguese Liga's powerhouse FC Porto.

Adriano started playing in 1998 for Portuguesa, and went on to represent, in Brazil, Palmeiras.

Switching to Portugal in 2002, he began playing with Madeira's CD Nacional. After a quick return stint in Brazil with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, Adriano joined FC Porto in January 2006, and gradually made his way into the starting eleven, scoring the winning goal in the 2006 Portuguese Cup final.

After Lisandro López's conversion into the centre forward position, Adriano lost his starting job, but was often brought in from the bench.
