José Pereira (born 15 September 1931 in Torres Vedras, Lisbon District) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Pereira played at club level for C.F. Os Belenenses (1954–67) and S.C. Beira-Mar (1967–71), appearing in 253 top division games with the former and retiring with the latter at almost 40.
