Mateus Galiano da Costa (born 18 January 1984), better known as Mateus, is an Angolan football midfielder who currently, as of August 2007, plays for Boavista F.C.

He is a member of the national team, and was called up to the 2006 World Cup.

In 2006, Mateus was at the centre of a judicial controversy that has erupted in Portuguese football, better known as "Caso Mateus" (Mateus Affair or the Mateus's files). This resulted in Gil Vicente being relegated.
