Celso Luís Honorato Júnior (born October 18, 1988 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian football player known as Celsinho. He currently plays for Sporting Clube de Portugal.

He began his career in his native Brazil with Portuguesa, where he was always compared to Ronaldinho Gaúcho, due to his long and curly hair and amazing technical skills. He was soon signed by Lokomotiv Moscow in January 2006.The climate, the roughness of Russian football and a bad personal relationship with the Lokomotiv coach made him want to leave. He plays for the Brazil U-20 national team.

Celsinho is very highly regarded in Brazil and has the potential to be a world class player. His technical and set piece attributes are among his best. Celsinho loves to have the ball at his feet. He was one 1 of 3 players to move to Russia with compatriot Ramon and Turkey's Caner Erkin moving to Lokomotiv's rivals CSKA Moscow after the under - 17 world cup.

On 19 August 2007 he moved on loan to Sporting Clube de Portugal, with the option of a permanent switch.
