Diogo Matos Ribeiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [diˈoɣu ʁiˈβɐjɾu]; born 27 October 2004) is a Portuguese competitive swimmer who specializes in freestyle and butterfly events.[1][2] He represents S.L. Benfica at the club level.

Ribeiro rose to prominence in Portuguese and world swimming after winning three gold medals and establishing a new junior world record in the long course 50-metre butterfly event at the 2022 World Junior Championships in Lima, Peru.[3][4] The following year, competing in his first senior-level World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, he claimed a silver medal in the 50 metres butterfly with a national record time to become the first Portuguese swimmer to win a World Championship medal. Ribeiro's biggest achievement came at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Qatar, where he won the 50-metre and 100-metre butterfly events and secured the first World Championship gold medals for Portuguese swimming at senior level.[5]
