Pedro Barreiros Cardoso de Sousa^[1] (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾu ˈsozɐ]; born 27 May 1988) is a Portuguese tennis coach and a former professional player who primarily competed on the ATP Challenger Tour. He reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 99 in February 2019.

He reached his first ATP final as a lucky loser at the 2020 Argentina Open after the withdrawal of top seed Diego Schwartzman in the semifinals but lost to Casper Ruud in the championship match. He had never reached a tour-level quarterfinal prior to this tournament, becoming only the third player from Portugal in the Open Era to reach a tour-level final.^[2]^[3]^[4]

In April 2023, using a qualification wildcard, Sousa qualified into the main draw for his last appearance at an ATP Tour event and his home tournament, the 2023 Estoril Open. He also announced his retirement from professional tennis, the 2023 Lisboa Belém Open Challenger being his final event.^[5] He retired on 6 October 2023.^[6]

In 2024, Sousa started coaching Henrique Rocha.^[7]
