Paulo Gustavo Amaral Monteiro de Barros (30 October 1978 – 4 May 2021), commonly known as Paulo Gustavo, was a Brazilian actor, comedian, director, screenwriter, and presenter.

He became known for the play Minha Mãe é uma Peça, which, in 2013, became a feature film. It became the most watched film of the year in Brazil, and in 2015, it was published as a book by the publisher Objetiva. Due to the huge success of critics and audiences, it was followed by two sequels, Minha Mãe é uma Peça 2 in 2016, and Minha Mãe é uma Peça 3 in 2019.
