João Silvério Trevisan (born June 23, 1944 in Ribeirão Bonito, São Paulo) is a Brazilian author, playwright, journalist, screenwriter and film director.

[1] Trevisan has been influential as a literary and cultural critic, particularly on gay and lesbian issues and his works have been translated into English, Spanish, and German.

He subsequently emerged as one of Brazil's more important literary figures due to the enormous quantity and quality of work produced over the course of his career on a variety of topics.
