Emanuel Silva (born 4 December 1985 in Braga) is a Portuguese flatwater canoer. A finalist at the 2004 Olympics, he is Portugal's most successful kayak sprinter since the 1980's.

Despite training with very limited resources, Silva became outright Portuguese individual champion over three distances (500m, 1000m and 10,000m) at the age of just sixteen.
