Jordan da Costa, (November 24, 1932  - February 17, 2012), best known as simply Jordan, was a Brazilian football player.

Considered by Garrincha as his best defender he ever contested,[3] Jordan was never sent off during his almost 14-year career. A skillful fullback, he was discovered by São Cristóvão in 1949 and three years later signed with Flamengo where he became an idol, winning the Rio State Championship three consecutive seasons (1953 to 1955), as well as the 1961 Rio-São Paulo Tournament.

With 609 matches for Flamengo, Jordan has the fourth-highest number of appearances for the club.

Jordan died on February 17, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro of complications from diabetes. He was 79 years old.[4]
