Waldomiro Freitas Autran Dourado (1926 – September 30, 2012) was a Brazilian novelist.

Going against current trends in Brazilian literature, Dourado's works display much concern with literary form, with many obscure words and expressions.

Minas Gerais is the setting for most of Dourado's books, resembling the early to mid-20th century regionalist trend in Brazilian literature.

In 2001, Brazilian filmmaker Suzana Amaral released the film Uma Vida em Segredo.

Dourado died of stomach bleeding on September 30, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro.
