Luís Vinícius de Menezes, more famously known as Vinício (born 28 February 1932) is a former professional football player, who played as a centre forward.

Although he is a Brazilian, Vinício played his entire career in Italy, and because of this, he was excluded from the Brazil national side, in a similar manner to José Altafini; unlike Altafini, however, Vinício chose not to play for the Italy national side.

In the summer of 1962 he returned disconsolate to Brazil, after finding little football action in recent years with Bologna.

In the summer of 1966, he left Vicenza because Helenio Herrera signed Vinício to play for Internazionale.

His teams were known for using a fluid and attractive attacking style of play, as well as heavy pressing, the offside trap, and a zonal marking defensive system; during his time with Napoli, he usually employed a 4–4–2 formation, and made use of an offensive sweeper (normally Tarcisio Burgnich) as one of his team's central defenders, who was required to push forward and advance into midfield in order to start attacking plays.
