Miguel Lebre Monteiro Figueiredo (born 2 August 2008) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Benfica B.
Club career Born in Aveiro, Figueiredo began playing as a youth for Casa do Benfica de Estarreja in 2016, before joining Benfica's academy in 2020. He won national titles at under-15, under-17 and under-19 level. In November 2024, aged 16, he signed his first professional contract.
In March 2026, having scored once in 16 games for Benfica B in Liga Portugal 2 as well as two goals in five games of the UEFA Youth League, Figueiredo was called up by first-team manager José Mourinho for a game away to Arouca, due to Enzo Barrenechea's injury. Under successor Marco Silva, he was chosen in July for a UEFA Europa League second qualifying round first leg game away to St. Gallen in Switzerland, and made his debut as a starter in a 2–1 defeat on 23 July. Silva praised his performance.
International career Figueiredo was chosen for the Portugal under-17 team for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar. In the round of 16, he scored in a 5–0 win over Mexico. He was an unused substitute in the final, a 1–0 win over Austria on 27 November.
