Marco Aurélio Mendes de Farias Mello (born 12 July 1946, Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian justice of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil, appointed to the position by his cousin, former President of Brazil Fernando Collor de Mello.

In a controversial decision in October 2012, Marco Aurélio Mello set free from jail Luiz André Ferreira da Silva, a politician of the city of Rio de Janeiro who had been arrested for involvement with the Milícia mafia at Rio de Janeiro. [3]

In 2020, Marco Aurélio Mello also set free Brazilian drug warlord André do Rap. The decision was reverted hours later by the President of the Brazilian Supreme Court, who ordered he should be put back in jail, but by then the criminal had already become a run-away after being set free by Marco Aurélio.[4]
