Eurico Monteiro Gomes (born 29 September 1955), known mononymously as Eurico when he was a player, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a central defender, and now serves as a manager.

His career began as a player at Benfica, later playing for Sporting and Porto; he became the second player to have represented the Big Three in his country, and the only one to have been champion in all three clubs (twice with each).[1] During his career as a player in the Primeira Liga, he played a total of 313 matches with seven goals across 14 seasons, winning 12 major titles. He subsequently embarked on a lengthy managerial career.

Eurico played nearly 40 times with the Portugal national team, appearing at Euro 1984. This was Portugal's debut in the tournament, in which they advanced to the semi-finals, losing 3-2 to France in extra time.
