Emilio Estévez (born May 12, 1962 in New York, New York) is an American actor, director and writer.

He is the eldest child of actor Martin Sheen, and his siblings are Ramón Luis Estevez, Charlie Sheen, and Renée Estevez. Emilio did not adopt his father's stage name as he wanted to try and get roles without relying on his father's success. He is most famous as part of the 1980s Brat Pack group of actors, having starred in The Breakfast Club (1985) and St. Elmo's Fire (1985). He also appeared in the cult film Repo Man (1984), as the punk-rocker turned car-repossessor Otto. Estevez is probably most recognizable among younger audiences for his role in The Mighty Ducks movie series.

Estevez was briefly married to singer-choreographer Paula Abdul. He has two children with ex-girlfriend, model Carey Salley: a son Taylor Levi Estevez (born in June 1984), and a daughter, Paloma Rae Estevez (born in February 1986). Most recently, he has directed episodes of the TV series, Cold Case, Close to Home, The Guardian and CSI: NY. Films he has directed include Men at Work, The War at Home and Bobby.
