Murilo Antonio Fischer (born June 16, 1979 in Brusque) is a Brazilian professional road bicycle racer, currently riding for UCI ProTeam Garmin-Barracuda. Prior to moving to Garmin, Fischer had raced his whole career with Italian teams, having begun his career with Domina Vacanze in 2004, before moving to UCI Professional Continental team Naturino-Sapore di Mare for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. At Naturino-Sapore di Mare, Fischer proved his consistency over a season by winning the 2004–2005 UCI Europe Tour. In 2007, Fischer made the step up to the ProTour with Liquigas.
