Rui Filipe Caetano Moura (born 1 March 1993 in Folgosa, Maia), known as Carraça, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Boavista F.C. as a midfielder.

After spending some years in the youth ranks of local clubs, he was picked up by Boavista feeder team Pasteleira in 2008, joining the main team's youth system for the next three years, before debuting in the main team in 2012.

He spent two seasons with the club in the lower leagues, but was sent out on a loan to C.D. Tondela in 2014-15, as the team was promoted directly to Primeira Liga and was subject to a complete overhaul which saw some important players from past seasons becoming backup choices after many new players were signed. He played 20 games at the club and helped them achieve promotion to Primeira Liga for the first time in their history. He was again loaned out for the 2015-16 season, this time to CD Santa Clara, where he was as undisputed starter for much of the season, playing in 44 matches.

For the 2016-17 season, then Boavista manager Erwin Sánchez decided to keep him in the team, and he quickly became a regular starter and one of the most important pieces in Boavista's midfield. He kept his status with the arrival of new manager Miguel Leal and is a key player in the high pressure game the team usually tries to play. His performances were rewarded with a contract extension until the end of the 2017-18 season.
