Miguel Pupo (born November 19, 1991, in Itanhaém, São Paulo) is a Brazilian professional surfer who is in the World Surf League.
Career Miguel started on the circuit competing in the Qualifying Series in 2008. In 2011, he won his first 2 stages of the Qs, and competed for the first time on the WSL World Circuit. Since 2012 he has been a member of the elite of World Surfing. His best result was in 2022 when he ranked sixth in the World Ranking and almost participated in the WSL Finals. He also won his first stage at the CT in Teahupoo, when he beat Frenchman Kauli Vaast in the decision.
In the 2023 season, Miguel competed in the first three CT events, but was out of the last 2 before the mid-season cut due to injury. Because of the injury and his history on the CT, he received the Season Wildcard for the 2024 season. In the next season, he was eliminated from the CT in the mid-season cut, but finished 6th place in the Challenger Series that same year and returned to the CT.
