Augusto Heleno Ribeiro Pereira (born 29 October 1947) is a Brazilian politician retired general of the Brazilian Army. He was military commander of the Amazon and Chief of the Department of Science and Technology of the Army. Heleno has declared positions against official politics, particularly about the attitude of the international community in regards to Haiti and the indigenous politics of the Brazilian government.

During Jair Bolsonaro presidential campaign, the candidate invited Heleno as his running mate in the election, but his party refused.[1] The general was then invited for Minister of Defence of Bolsonaro's government.[2] However, the nominated minister stepped back and was chosen for the Institutional Security Cabinet.
