Mário Sérgio Leal Nogueira (born 28 July 1981), known as Mário Sérgio, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Cypriot club Apollon Limassol as a right back.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 137 games and three goals over the course of eight seasons, representing Paços de Ferreira, Sporting, Vitória de Guimarães and Naval. Abroad, he played for Metalurh Donetsk and APOEL, winning seven major titles with the latter club.
Mário Sérgio appeared with Portugal at the 2004 Olympic Games.
Born in Paredes, Mário Sérgio was a youth graduate of F.C. Paços de Ferreira, making his Primeira Liga debut on 1 October 2000 by playing four minutes in a 4–1 home win against C.F. Estrela da Amadora. He was first-choice in the following two seasons.
On 25 June 2003, Mário Sérgio joined Sporting Clube de Portugal on a four-year contract, being the first signing of manager Fernando Santos. He said upon his arrival: "I am an ambitious player. I have fought for this opportunity and now want to show my worth". However, three years later and with only 18 competitive appearances to his credit, also being loaned to fellow league side Vitória de Guimarães, he was released.
