O Homem da Meia-Noite (Portuguese for 'The Midnight Man') is a carnival block in Olinda, Brazil.

[2] Homem da Meia-Noite was founded on February 2, 1931, following an internal dispute at Cariri Olindense [pt].

Luciano Anacleto de Queiroz, Sebastião da Silva, Cosme José dos Santos, Heliodoro Pereira da Silva, and shoemaker Manoel Joaquim dos Santos (Neco Monstro) were not accepted at the block's board, and decided to create the new block.

Thus, to rival with them, the founders decided to parade at the midnight hour between carnival's Saturday and Sunday, becoming the opening act since then.

It has long dark hair, a gold tooth smile, and wears yellow and blue in a reference to Yemọja e Oshun.
