Jorge Ciro Fucile Perdomo (born 19 November 1984 in Montevideo) is an Uruguayan football defender currently playing for Portuguese club FC Porto.

Fucile began his career with Uruguayan club Liverpool Montevideo, but on August 31, 2006, he was transferred on a one-season loan to Porto. He quickly earned a spot on the right side of defense. At the end of the 2006-07 season, Porto made the move permanent, by signing him to a 5 year contract.

Fucile's style of play is similar to that of Javier Zanetti and Roberto Carlos. He is a good passer, a good dribbler, good free kick taker, as well as a very fast runner on the pitch.

He played for Uruguay in 2007 Copa América.
