Altobeli Santos da Silva (born 3 December 1990) is a Brazilian distance runner. He finished ninth in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2016 Summer Olympics. In 2017, he competed in the men's 3000 metres steeplechase at the 2017 World Athletics Championships held in London, United Kingdom.[6] He competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7]
Da Silva was named after the Italian football striker Alessandro Altobelli.[1] In his early years he earned money by delivering leaflets for a local supermarket. He once entered a 10 km road race aiming to win its top prize, a motorbike, which he needed for his job. He failed to win, but met his future coach Guilherme Salgado.[4]
