João Filipe Amorim Gomes (born 26 July 1992), known as Amorim, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a right-back.
He played 19 games in the Primeira Liga for Vitória S.C. and Belenenses but spent most of his career in second division, making over 200 appearances in service of eight teams.
Club career Born in Ribeirão, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Amorim began his development at hometown club G.D. Ribeirão and concluded it at Vitória SC. In 2011, he was loaned to S.C. Freamunde of the Segunda Liga, where he made his professional debut.
Amorim made his first appearance in the Primeira Liga for Vitória on 28 April 2012 aged 19, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 away loss against Gil Vicente FC; his defensive performance was considered subpar by website Mais Futebol.
In January 2015, Amorim cancelled his contract and signed with second tier side Académico de Viseu F.C. until the end of the season. He returned to the top flight on 10 June, on a deal of undisclosed length at C.F. Os Belenenses.
Amorim dropped back down a level in June 2016, joining C.D. Aves. He played just under half of their games as they won promotion as runners-up to Portimonense SC, and scored on the final day in a 3–0 home win over AD Fafe.
Amorim continued competing in division two the following years, representing F.C. Arouca, Varzim SC, C.D. Cova da Piedade and Leixões SC. On 7 July 2025, the 33-year-old announced his retirement.
