Filipe Vilaça Oliveira (born 27 May 1984) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta FC. Mainly a right midfielder, he can also appear as an attacking right back.
After starting out at Chelsea as a senior, he went on to play mostly for Videoton in Hungary. In his country's Primeira Liga, he amassed totals of 92 games and one goal during five seasons.
Born in Braga, Oliveira started his career with local S.C. Braga, joining their youth system at the age of 10. Still in his teens he was bought by Chelsea for a reported cost of £500,000, making his Premier League debut on 19 October 2002 in a 3–0 away win over Manchester City where he played one minute after coming on as a substitute for two-time scorer Gianfranco Zola. However, he never managed to break into the main squad and, during one month, served a spell at Preston North End.
Oliveira played once for the Blues in 2004–05, in the last game against Newcastle United where he also came off the bench. In the summer of 2005 he was loaned to C.S. Marítimo, with Nuno Morais joining in the same predicament; after the season finished, he agreed to be released from his contract and signed with the Madeira-based club.
