Ruben Filipe Marques Amorim (European Portuguese: [ˈʁuβɛn fɨˈlipɨ ˈmaɾkɨʃ ɐmuˈɾĩ]; born 27 January 1985) is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is currently head coach of Serie A club AC Milan.

As a footballer, Amorim played as a midfielder. He spent most of his professional career with Belenenses and Benfica, signing with the latter in 2008 and going on to win ten major titles, including three league titles, one Taça de Portugal, five Taças da Liga and one Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. He represented Portugal in two FIFA World Cups, earning a total of 14 caps.

His managerial career started in 2017, managing Casa Pia in 2018, before resigning after six months. He then was appointed head coach at Braga's reserve team, before taking charge of the Braga senior side in December 2019, winning the 2020 Taça da Liga in his half-season. In March 2020, Amorim was appointed manager of Sporting CP, becoming then the third most expensive manager ever. In his first season, Amorim guided the club to a double by winning both the Taça da Liga and the Primeira Liga, ending the latter's 19-year league title drought. These achievements won him the Primeira Liga's Manager of the Year award for the 2020–21 season. He later led them to another Primeira Liga title in the 2023–24 season, being named for the second time Primeira Liga's Manager of the Year.

He left the club for Manchester United in late 2024, bringing them to the final of the Europa League in 2025, before being dismissed from his role in January 2026. He joined AC Milan in June 2026.
