Dyego Rocha Coelho or simply Coelho (born March 22, 1983 in São Paulo), is a Brazilian right-back. He currently plays for Atlético-MG on loan from Corinthians.

Has one International cap for Brazil where Coelho was a 61st minute substitute for Adriano in 0-1 defeat to Mexico [1]] in the Gold Cup Final.

Has been linked with a January 2008 move to Celtic F.C. of Glasgow, where he failed to win a Contract after a week long trial. Celtic felt that he didn't have the quality to meet the requirements and to succeed at the club following the signing of German international defender Andreas Hinkel from Sevilla[1].
