Passos no Escuro (Portuguese for "Footsteps in the Dark") is an extended play by the Brazilian rock band Zero. It came out in 1985 by EMI.

The EP was a massive commercial success, to the point of receiving a Gold Certification by Pro-Música Brasil,[1] and spawned the hit singles "Formosa" and "Agora Eu Sei"; the latter counted with a guest appearance by RPM vocalist Paulo Ricardo on backing vocals. Music videos would also be made for those tracks.
