Ítalo Ferreira da Costa (born 6 May 1994) is a Brazilian professional surfer hailing from a small community of Baía Formosa, in Rio Grande do Norte on the northeastern coast of Brazil.

[1] Ferreira learned to surf on a three-foot-long lid of a coolbox his father used to transport fish to sell to restaurants in Baia Formosa.

During his breakout year, he made the semifinals in Rio and the quarterfinals in Fiji, Tahiti, and France before making his first CT Final in Portugal.

[2] He had bright spots in 2016 with semifinal appearances at Bells and Margaret River but was stopped in round five seven times, finishing the year 15th in the rankings.

[2] He looked on track to rebound in 2017 after a strong fifth-place finish at Snapper, but two days after the event, he tore ligaments in his ankle, and he missed the next three stops.
