Jesús David Ferreira Castro (born December 24, 2000) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas and the United States national team.

Born in Colombia, Ferreira moved to Dallas, Texas, at the age of 10 after his father, David Ferreira, signed with FC Dallas. He joined the club's youth side and progressed through the ranks before signing a homegrown contract in 2016. He scored his first professional goal on his debut in June 2017 against Real Salt Lake. In 2018, Ferreira was loaned to United Soccer League side Tulsa Roughnecks where he scored six goals in 14 matches, including his first career hat-trick. The next season, Ferreira returned to FC Dallas and brokethrough as a starter under coach Luchi Gonzalez. In January 2022, Ferreira signed a designated player contract with Dallas.

Ferreira made his senior debut for the United States in February 2020 against Costa Rica. He was then part of the under-23 side that failed to qualify for the Summer Olympics in March 2020. Ferreira scored his first two goals for the United States in January 2021 against Trinidad and Tobago.
