Nuno Assis Lopes de Almeida (born 25 November 1977), known as Assis, is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 282 games and 33 goals over the course of 12 seasons, representing in the competition Alverca, Gil Vicente, Vitória de Guimarães (two spells) and Benfica. He also spent four years in the Cypriot First Division with Omonia.
Born in Lousã, Coimbra District, Assis started playing football in his hometown, before being spotted by Sporting Clube de Portugal. He then moved to the Lisbon club's youth system, and later was loaned to its feeder club Sporting Clube Lourinhanense. He made his debuts in the top division in 1999–2000, playing 19 matches for F.C. Alverca while still on loan from Sporting, and was subsequently loaned a final time the following season to Gil Vicente FC, for whom he scored his first-ever top flight goals.
In the 2001 summer, Assis was released by the Lions, signing with Vitória de Guimarães. In his second year he scored three goals in 33 matches, netting four in 31 in the following campaign. He started off 2004–05 with the Minho side, but moved to S.L. Benfica in the following winter transfer window to replace fading Zlatko Zahovič; he scored on his debut, in a 2–1 away success against Moreirense FC.
