Tadeu Antônio Ferreira (born 4 February 1992), simply known as Tadeu, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Goiás as a goalkeeper.

Club career Coritiba Born in Joaquim Távora, Paraná, Tadeu was a Coritiba youth graduate, after joining the club at the age of 15. In February 2013, he was loaned to Tupi, and made his senior debut on 3 March by starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Mineiro home draw against América Mineiro.

Tadeu subsequently represented Junior Team and Maringá on loan before leaving Coxa in 2015, after his contract expired.

Ceará On 7 January 2016, Tadeu agreed to a one-year deal with Ceará. He left the club in July, however, after making no official appearances.

Loan to Oeste On 6 April 2018, Tadeu agreed to a loan deal with Série B side Oeste until the end of the year. An immediate first-choice, he only missed one league match due to suspension as the club narrowly avoided relegation.

Goiás

Returning to AFE for the 2019 campaign, Tadeu was again a regular starter for the club before joining Goiás of the Série A on 4 April 2019, on loan until December. He made his top tier debut on 28 April, starting in a 1–0 away defeat of Fluminense.

On 12 August 2024, Tadeu once again made major headlines after scoring two goals from penalty kicks to seal a 2–1 comeback against EC Ceará. The feat made him to be the first goalkeeper in Brazilian football to score twice in the same match since Rogerio Ceni, to be the first goalkeeper to score twice in the Brazilian Série B, to be the first goalkeeper to score twice for Goiás EC and to become the club’s top scoring goalkeeper of all time.
