Michel Souza da Silva (born 22 August 1986), known simply as Michel, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Portuguese club Benfica.

Michel moved to Portugal initially as a futsal player, but he switched to association football shortly after because of his physical strength and powerful shots. He started his career with Penafiel in the third division, scoring 13 goals in 32 games in his first season, which ended in promotion.
