António Carlos Bernardino Pedroto (born 19 October 1953) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, and a current manager.

Born in Lisbon, Pedroto started playing football with local S.L. Benfica. He began training with the main squad in the 1972–73 season, which ended in national championship conquest, but his only league appearance for the club only came the following campaign.

After leaving Benfica, Pedroto represented always in the top division, where he amassed totals of 227 games and 28 goals over the course of 13 seasons, Vitória de Guimarães (two spells), C.S. Marítimo and Portimonense SC, retiring in June 1986 at nearly 33; with Vitória, he also appeared in three UEFA Cup editions.

Pedroto's first job as a head coach in the professionals was in 1990–91, as he led Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco to the fifth position in the second level, just one point shy of promotion. After one year in the lower leagues with Varzim SC, he was appointed at former club Vitória de Guimarães, helping it finish seventh in the top flight in his only full season.

During the rest of his Portugal coaching career, Pedroto never again finished one season, with the exception being 1995–96 with Gil Vicente FC (11th place, top division). Subsequently he moved to Angola and signed for Atlético Sport Aviação, winning the Girabola tournament three years in a row (2002–04) and finishing second in 2005.
