Enéas Ferreira Carneiro [ eˈnɛas feˈʁeiɾɐ kaʁˈneiɾu ] (born November 5, 1938 in Rio Branco ( Acre ); † May 6, 2007 in Rio de Janeiro ) was a Brazilian politician .

In 1989 he founded the Partido da Reedificação da Ordem Nacional (PRONA) (Party for the Restoration of National Order). In the same year, for the first free presidential election since the end of the military dictatorship, he became known to a wider audience in Brazil because he wanted to fill the 1-minute TV election ads with as much information as possible, so that he was forced to close quickly talking, gesticulating vigorously and always saying his defining sentence at the end: "Meu nome é Enéas!" ("My name is Enéas!"). Enéas Carneiro ran as a candidate in three presidential elections. In 2002 he was elected Deputado Federal (Member of the Brazilian Bundestag) for the State of São Paulo . He was elected to office with 1.57 million votes, setting an unprecedented record.
