Maxwell Scherrer Cabelino Andrade, or simply Maxwell, (born August 27, 1981, in Vila Velha, Brazil) is a Brazilian football player currently playing for Internazionale. He plays as a left back or winger. He is an attacking player noted for his ball control and his tricks.

His former clubs were Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and Ajax Amsterdam. His contract with Ajax Amsterdam was shortened to expire on the 2nd of January 2006, in order to join Internazionale on a free transfer. Due to one non-EU and non-Serie A player registration quota per year, he was loaned to Empoli F.C., however he did not play any games. In July 2006, Internazionale officially announced the signing of Maxwell on a four-year contract.

Maxwell impressed in his first season in Serie A, most notably against FC Parma at the San Siro when he scored a fine solo effort which was voted Inter's goal of the season by Inter channel viewers.

Initially placed at left-back, the 07-08 season saw him move further up the field with Cristian Chivu replacing him at left-back while Maxwell played a left midfield/winger role. This became very effective as Maxwell adapted well to the winger role which made use of his blistering pace.
