Jorginho, real name Jorge de Amorim Oliveira Campos, (born August 17, 1964 in Rio de Janeiro) is a former Brazilian football defender, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 1994.

He was capped 64 times for the Brazilian national football team, scoring three goals. Other than the 1994 triumph, he also played at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He was booked in the second round match against the US in 1994, but was named in the All-Star squad a few days later. He contributed two assists in the tournament, including a cross in the semifinals against Sweden that helped Romário score the winning goal. He played superbly against Italy in the finals, including a play in which he stunningly freeing himself from a double-team. However, he got injured afterwards and was replaced by Cafu.

He played alongside Romário and Bebeto in 2001, but did not seem to get along with the pair at Vasco da Gama.

In 2006, Jorginho was hired as the head coach of América-RJ. On July 31, 2006, he was hired as Brazil's assistant manager.

Jorginho is a born-again Christian who, along with Brazilian football teammates Taffarel and Bismarck, was featured sharing his faith in a special version of the Jesus film produced and distributed during the 1998 World Cup.
