Sandro Dias (born April 18 1975), known as Mineirinho, is a Brazilian professional vert skateboarder. He started skateboarding in 1986 and turned pro in 1995. Best known for his high alley oop air tricks and for being one of ten people confirmed to have pulled the 900. He won the gold medal at X Games 12 in Skateboard Vert. He is sponsored by Red Bull, Oakley, and Positiv Skateboards. He won the world vert skateboarding titles in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

In 2011, Dias captured his sixth world vert skateboarding title. He beat out his close friend and teammate 8-time champion Andy Macdonald by only 50 championship points.

On September 25, 2025, Dias skated down the Fernando Ferrari Administrative Center, a government building shaped like a quarter pipe in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, breaking two world records in the skateboarding: highest drop-in ever and the fastest speed reached on a standard skateboard. Starting at a height of 55 meters, he gradually dropped in at 60, 65 and finally 70 meters. Guinness World Records representatives were present at the time of the event.
