Acelino "Popó" de Freitas is a Brazilian politician and a former professional boxer who competed between 1995 and 2017. He is a world champion in two weight classes, having held the WBO super featherweight title from 1999 to 2004, the WBA (Unified) super featherweight title from 2002 to 2004, and the WBO lightweight title twice between 2004 and 2007.

His nickname, Popó, was given to him by his mother, after the sound that babies make while drinking milk.
