Thiago Cruz Reggiani, known as Thiago Cruz (born 15 July 1981 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a football former striker.

He was the director of football of Australian club Brisbane Roar during the 2010–11 A-League season when the club won its first ever Premiership and Championship after a season which saw them go undefeated in 28 games, including the Grand Final.
