Thiago Machado Vilela Pereira (born January 26, 1986 in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro) is a swimmer from Brazil, who won the silver medal in the 200m individual medley at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, just behind George Bovell of Trinidad and Tobago. Pereira holds the world record in the 200m individual medley, which he set at the 6th stop of the 2007 FINA World Cup.

Pereira's biggest success so far came one year earlier, when he won the world title in the same event at the 2004 FINA Short Course World Championships. After that, Pereira won six gold medals in the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, breaking the record of five gold medals in one Pan American Games edition held by Mark Spitz. A resident of Belo Horizonte he represented his native country at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. There he reached the final of the 200m medley, and finished in fifth place.
