Jorge Manuel Guerreiro Soares (born 22 October 1971) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central defender.

Born in the village of Messejana in Aljustrel, Beja, Soares joined S.C. Farense at the age of 15, being first-choice with the first team in his last four years, all spent in the Primeira Liga.

[1] In the 1994–95 season he scored a career-best three goals in 26 games to help the club qualify to the UEFA Cup for the first time in its history; late into the following campaign he notably found the net in a 1–0 away win against S.L.

[2] During his two-year spell with them, Soares partnered Jorge Bermúdez, Hélder Cristóvão or Tahar El Khalej in the heart of the defense, becoming first-choice after the second moved to Deportivo de La Coruña in the winter transfer season of 1996.

In a match against FC Porto on 11 January 1997, however, he was unsuccessful at blocking a cross directed towards Mário Jardel, who stopped it with his chest and scored his team's first in an eventual 2–1 success in Lisbon.
