Fernando Büttenbender Prass (born 9 July 1978 in Porto Alegre) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras as a goalkeeper.
After starting professionally with local Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense, Prass joined Associação Atlética Francana in 2000, moving after one season to another modest side, Vila Nova Futebol Clube. In 2002, he signed for Coritiba Foot Ball Club, spending four seasons at the club.
Subsequently, Prass moved abroad and joined Portugal's U.D. Leiria, as compatriot Helton had left to join FC Porto in the Primeira Liga. He made his league debut on 11 September 2005 in a 0–0 home draw against C.S. Marítimo, and retained first-choice status from that moment onwards.
In the 2006–07 season, Prass only missed two league games as Leiria finished seventh and qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup, eventually being one of the competition's winners and appearing in the UEFA Cup, being ousted by Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the first round (4–5 on aggregate). The following campaign, the team dropped down to the second division.
