Pedro Emanuel dos Santos Martins Silva (born 11 February 1975), known as Pedro Emanuel, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender, currently manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Fayha.

In his 16-year professional career he was closely associated with the two biggest teams in Porto, Boavista – he helped them win their only Primeira Liga title in 2001 – and FC Porto, being team captain of both. He amassed top-division totals of 268 matches and two goals over 12 seasons, and won 14 major titles between both clubs.

Pedro Emanuel subsequently became a manager, leading three teams in his country's top flight as well as working in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. He won domestic cups with Académica de Coimbra in 2012, Apollon Limassol in 2016 and Al Taawoun in 2019.
