Daniel Kenedy Pimentel Mateus dos Santos, aka Kenedy (born 18 February 1974 in Bissau), is a Guinea-Bissauan/Portuguese footballer with Ergotelis F.C. of the Super League Greece.
Kenedy, named after former American president John F. Kennedy (note the difference in spelling), has represented SL Benfica, FC Porto, CF Estrela da Amadora, CS Marítimo, Sporting Clube de Braga (January to December 2004) and Académica de Coimbra in Portugal, with abroad stints with Paris Saint-Germain, Albacete Balompié and APOEL.
Kenedy represented the Portuguese national football team at the 1996 Summer Olympics. He was called up to the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad while still uncapped on the senior level, though he was dismissed from the team prior to the start of the tournament, after failing a drugs test.
