Zélio Fernandino de Moraes (10 April 1891 – 3 October 1975) was a Brazilian spiritual medium associated with the founding narratives of Umbanda, a syncretic Afro-Brazilian religion that emerged in the early 20th century. In Umbanda tradition, he is linked to the spirit entity known as Caboclo das Sete Encruzilhadas, whose manifestation is said to have announced the formation of a new religious movement in Brazil.
