Luis Roberto Alves dos Santos Gavranic (born May 23, 1967 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal) also known as Zaguinho or simply Zague is a former Mexican footballer. He is the son of José Alves "Zague".

Born to Brazilian parents, Zaguinho spent his childhood in Brazil and also began his football career there, where he was often called "The Mexican". He returned to Mexico in 1985 and made his debut with the Mexican club América a year later. He immediately gained popularity within the team and became América record club goalscorer outbeating some of América's greatest ever players.

Zague was a physically strong and fast striker who was regarded as the best in his prime years for both América and Mexico. He was Hugo Sánchez`s strike partner in the Mexican side who finished runners-up in Copa América 1993, where he finished up as Mexico's top goalscorer of the tournament.

He was part of Mexico squad for the 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup in which Mexico won the trophy and Zague was the tournament top scorer with 12 goals which is still a CONCACAF record.

Zague is the 5th highest Mexico goalscorer of all time with 30 goals and 11th in the appearance records with 84 caps.

In the Primera División de México Zague is the 6th highest goalscorer with 209 goals. He is married to Mexican news anchorwoman, Paola Rojas.
