Jorge Mário da Silva, more commonly known by his stage name Seu Jorge (Seu, Brasilian Portuguese for "Mister" or "Sir"; born June 8, 1970; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsew ˈʒɔʁʒi]), is a Brazilian musical artist, songwriter, and actor.

He is considered by many to be a renewer of Brazilian pop samba. Seu Jorge cites samba schools and American soul singer Stevie Wonder as major musical influences.

Jorge is also known for his film roles as Mané Galinha in the 2002 film City of God and as Pelé dos Santos in the 2004 film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. His musical work has received praise from many fellow musicians, including Beck and David Bowie.
