Mário Rodrigues Filho, better known as Mário Filho (3 June 1908 – 17 September 1966), was a Brazilian journalist and writer.
Born in the Pernambuco state capital Recife, Filho moved to Rio de Janeiro while still a child, in 1916. His father, Mário Rodrigues, owned the newspaper "A Manhã" (lit. 'The Morning'). The younger Mário began at his father's paper in 1926 as a sports reporter, pursuing a relatively undeveloped form of journalism.
