Miguel Rodrigo Pereira Vargas (born 18 November 1978 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for AEP Paphos F.C. in Cyprus, as a midfielder.
An unsuccessful Sporting Clube de Portugal youth graduate, Vargas only appeared for its B team as a senior, also being loaned three times, the first at Académica de Coimbra, where he made his first division debuts at age 19.
After his release in the 2001 summer, Vargas moved to F.C. Alverca, experience his most steady period in his country, with three consecutive top flight seasons, being relegated in 2003–04. Subsequently, he moved shortly to União de Leiria, but quickly changed to G.D. Estoril Praia in division two, initially on loan.
In the 2006 summer, Vargas began playing abroad, his first stop being with Cyprus' APOP Kinyras FC, being instrumental as the side managed to remain in the top level during his two full seasons stay.
He moved teams in the same country in the January transfer window of 2009, signing with AEL Limassol, and rejoining former Sporting (youth), Alverca and Leiria teammate Pedro Torrão; again an undisputed starter, he provided several assists to his side's goals, also netting twice in as many wins (against Doxa Katokopias F.C. for the game's only, and at Nea Salamis Famagusta FC, a 3–1 win, both in 2009–10).
