Tiago da Costa Monteiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [ti?a?u mõ?t?j?u]; born 24 July 1976) is a Portuguese professional racing driver. He drove for Jordan Grand Prix, Midland and Spyker MF1 teams—all different iterations of the same team as it was bought by new owners during a two-year stint as part of the Formula One paddock. He is the only Portuguese driver to have scored a Formula One podium finish.

Monteiro raced with the semi-privateer SR Sport team in the 2010 WTCC season driving a SEAT León TDI, following the withdrawal of SEAT Sport at the end of the previous season. For 2011, he again drove for Sunred Engineering, where he was partnered by rookies Aleksei Dudukalo and Pepe Oriola, as well as 2010 teammates Michel Nykjaer, Fredy Barth and Gabriele Tarquini. He remained with the team for 2012 under the "Tuenti Racing Team" banner. Monteiro raced for the Castrol Honda team with the new Honda Civic in 2013 and 2014, and remains with the Japanese manufacturer in 2015.
