Cláudio Mejolaro, also known as Cláudio Pitbull (born January 8, 1982 in Porto Alegre), is a Brazilian football striker. He currently plays for Portuguese club Vitória F.C., on loan from FC Porto.

Unable to settle at Porto since arriving in 2004-05, he was loaned several times. On February 4, 2007, he played his first league match for Académica Coimbra, against Naval. In 2007-08 he was loaned again, this time to Vitória Setúbal, where he was the team's top scorer, as Vitória overachieved, despite facing serious financial problems. In March 2008, Pitbull won the new Carlsberg Cup in a penalty shootout against Sporting Lisbon, as he was named the tournament's best player.
