Sérgio Eduardo Ferreira da Cunha, aka Serginho (born 15 October 1972 in Rio de Janeiro), is a retired Brazilian footballer who played as a striker.
After playing in his country mostly for modest clubs – he represented Associação Atlética Portuguesa (RJ), Olaria Atlético Clube, América Football Club, Vitória Futebol Clube (ES) – Serginho moved at almost 22 to Portugal with C.D. Nacional, being an instrumental part in the Madeira club's rise from levels three and two, eventually consolidating in the top division.
In 2003–04, already slowing down, Serginho still netted twice in 19 games, as Nacional qualified for the first time ever to the UEFA Cup; after another campaign, he moved to the lower leagues both in his country (Juventude de Caxias, Universidade Estácio de Sá Futebol Clube) and Portugal (União da Madeira and U.D. Santana), before retiring in 2007. He was Nacional's all-time topscorer, having netted well over 100 times officially.
Serginho represented Brazil's under-20s at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship in Portugal, but appeared only once for the eventual losing finalists (15 minutes in the 5–1 quarterfinal win against South Korea).
