Marcos Oliveira (born June 21, 1978) is a professional Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts fighter from Brazil. He competes in the heavyweight division of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Oliveira received his black belt in judo in 1995. He received his brown belt and his black belt in mixed martial arts in December 2006.[2]

In 2010, Oliveira was invited to compete in the Abu Dhabi Fighting Championship Open Weight Grand Prix. He defeated Johan Romming in the first round and Neil Wain in the second round to reach the "one-million-dirham (US$272,260.72)" final.[3] Oliveira went to Thailand to improve his striking before the final fight.[4] However, he lost to Russia's Shamil Abdurakhimov in round three. He retired after this fight.
