Hugo Miguel Martins Carreira (born 10 March 1979) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a central defender.
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Carreira started his professional career at local F.C. Barreirense. After two seasons, he was snapped by La Liga side Deportivo de La Coruña, but would never play in any first-team matches during three seasons.
In 2001–02, Carreira joined C.F. Estrela da Amadora, by then in the second division; after a brief spell with C.D. Nacional in Madeira, with which he made his top flight debuts, he returned to the Lisbon-based side, being relatively used in his six-year spell.
In March 2009, Carreira left Estrela, which was facing a severe economic crisis, and moved to China's Qingdao Jonoon FC. In the following year, he moved teams - and countries - again, signing for AEP Paphos F.C. of Cyprus.
