Artur da Silva Quaresma (27 June 1917 – 2 December 2011) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a forward.

[1] In 1945–46, as the Lisbon-based team won their first and only national championship, Quaresma scored 14 goals in 22 matches.

He retired on 5 October 1948 at only 30 years of age following a game against neighbouring Sporting CP (4–1 home win, two goals), then acted as his main club's coach during the same campaign, leading it to the third position.

He made his debut on 28 November 1937, against Spain (2–1 win in Vigo);[3] before that match he, alongside teammates Mariano Amaro, João Azevedo and José Simões, refused to perform the fascist salute, being subsequently questioned by PIDE.

Many media outlets referred to him as being the great-uncle of another footballer, Ricardo Quaresma, who played with individual and team success for FC Porto and was also an international;[3] the latter later denied this, however, but referred to the former as an "inspiration to overcome adversity in life".
