Tamires Morena Lima de Araújo (born 16 May 1994) is a Brazilian handballer who plays for the Cercle Dijon Bourgogne. She is also member of the Brazilian national team.[1]

Born into a sporting family, Tamires' sister, Monique is a Brazilian national champion in weightlifting, who also participated at the 2013 World Weightlifting Championships.[2]

Tamires initially began with athletics, but her height and strength soon caught the eyes of a handball coach, who saw great potential in her. She eventually chose handball and rose through the ranks quickly.[2]

In 2013 she was part of the Brazilian national team that won the South American Championship and a year later she went triumphant with the junior national team at the 2014 Pan American Women's Junior Handball Championship.

She was approached by Győri ETO KC in December 2014, after Eduarda Amorim, Tamires' fellow national team player suffered a knee injury at the 2014 Golden League, that forced her out for the rest of the season. Tamires was spotted on the same event and was invited to a three days trial in late December, subsequently she signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Győri ETO KC.[3]
