Bruno Cortês Barbosa (born 11 March 1987), known as Cortez, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Grêmio as a left back.

Cortez changed his surname spelling from Cortês to Cortez, without circumflex diacritic and with a final z ending after being asked to do so by the Nova Iguaçu club president. After leaving his youth club, Cortez decided to keep the spelling as an artistic name.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, he began his career as a forward in 2006, as part of Arturzinho's squad. He was loaned to Paysandu in 2007, when he played a single game, against Tuna Luso in the Campeonato Paraense.

Cortez first professional contract was with Qatari club Al-Shahaniya in 2007. He moved back to his home country to play for Rio de Janeiro state-based club Castelo Branco from 2008 to 2009,. He left the club to defend Quissamã, also from Rio de Janeiro state, for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. He joined Nova Iguaçu in 2011, playing 14 Campeonato Carioca games for the club during that season. In March of the same year, Nova Iguaçu received a bid from Remo for the defender but rejected the offer.
