Micael Ferreira Galvão, known as Mica Galvão, is a Brazilian submission grappler and Luta Livre and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, born on 8 October 2003 in Manaus in the state of Amazonas.

In June 2022, at 18, he won the World Championship as the youngest jiu-jitsu world champion ever, but he tested positive for clomifene, was stripped of the title and was suspended for a year.
