André Luís Garcia (born July 31, 1979) is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a centre back.

Born in Porto Alegre, but raised in Bagé, Luís spent the majority of his youth career in his home-town club, Guarany.

[2] However a year later, a compromising performance in the semifinal of the Campeonato Paulista with Corinthians, cost him his place at Santos and he was loaned out to Fluminense for the remainder of the season.

[10] Arriving at Benfica with the season in progress, he found it difficult to get some playing time, with Luisão and Ricardo Rocha being the preferred centre-backs of Giovanni Trapattoni.

[11][12] Despite a positive debut in the Portuguese Cup semi-final against Estrela da Amadora, Luís only played once in the Primeira Liga, when he replaced a suspended Luisão in a visit to Penafiel on 7 May.

[14] In July, Luís moved to Olympique de Marseille in season-long loan, with a buyout clause set at €6 million.

[20] However, in March 2007, Luís attracted some controversy, when he first attacked André from América Mineiro,[21] and a few days later, head-butted a referee in a match with Ipatinga.

[28][29] He was eventually arrested and brought to the police station, where he negotiated his release after paying 25 minimum wages to a cancer hospital.

[37][38] He then became a journeyman and moved clubs every year, passing through Portuguesa, a second spell at Barueri, Boa Esporte, Brasiliense and Mogi Mirim.
