Carlos Lamarca (October 23, 1937 – September 17, 1971) was a Brazilian Army Captain who deserted to become a communist guerilla member. He was a part of the revolutionary guerrilla group Popular Revolutionary Vanguard (Vanguarda Popular Revolucionária - VPR) and became, along with Carlos Marighella, one of the major elements of communist subversion in Brazil. Lamarca was the only man in the republican History of Brazil to receive the status of traitor, being considered an "enemy of the state" by the military dictatorship of the time.
