Paulo Jorge Rebelo Duarte (born 6 April 1969) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central defender, and is the manager of Burkina Faso.
During a 17-year senior career, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 238 matches and eight goals over 12 seasons, representing mainly União de Leiria. He became a manager in 2006, also working with that club and later being in charge of the Burkina Faso and Gabon national teams.
Duarte was born in Massarelos, Porto District. After playing youth football for local Boavista F.C. and starting out as a senior at C.F. União de Coimbra, he signed for U.D. Leiria in 1988, also in the second division.
Duarte then played two seasons apiece for S.C. Salgueiros and C.S. Marítimo, making his Primeira Liga debut with the former and appearing in a total of 84 league games the two clubs combined. Subsequently, he returned to Leiria who now competed in the Portuguese top flight, retiring after almost one decade at the age of 34 and acting as first-choice in four of those campaigns (in 2001–02, as the team qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup, he was managed by young José Mourinho).
