David Luiz Moreira Marinho (born 22 April 1987), known as David Luiz, is a Brazilian professional footballer who is set to play for French club Paris Saint-Germain and as vice-captain for the Brazil national team.

Primarily a central defender, he can also be deployed as a defensive midfielder.After starting out at Vitória, he moved to Benfica at the age of 19, remaining with the club five seasons (three complete). He joined Chelsea in January 2011, winning the Champions League and the FA Cup in the following season. From Chelsea, he transferred to Paris Saint-Germain in June 2014 for a fee of £50 million, a record for a defender.

He is a devout Christian and has named Kaká as his role model. He said: "My faith gives me the belief that I can go out and perform and improve as a player. It gives me strength and inspiration." He later added: "Everything in life belongs to God. Our purpose has already been mapped out."

He is engaged to his girlfriend of few years, Sara Madeira.
