Heraldo Bezerra Nuñez, (21 April 1945 – 14 March 1977) was a Spanish footballer who played for Cruzeiro.

Despite being born in São Jerônimo, Brazil, Bezerra was a Spanish citizen and played at the international level with Spain. He played against Turkey, in a 0–0 tie in 1973. He played together with Ayala and Garate in a famous forward line known as the three daggers. He played 102 games in La Liga, scoring 16 goals. Shortly after being transferred from Atlético Madrid to Boca Juniors at the beginning of the Argentine season, Bezerra died in a car accident near Campana on 14 March 1977, while travelling to Rosario accompanying teammate Ruben Favret, who survived without injuries.[1]
