Melayro Chakewno Jalaino Bogarde (born 28 May 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Austrian Bundesliga club LASK. Born in the Netherlands, he represents the Suriname national team.

Bogarde joined the youth team of TSG Hoffenheim from the Feyenoord Academy in 2018. On 30 May 2020, he made his professional debut for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, starting in the away match against Mainz 05.

On 14 January 2022, Bogarde was loaned to Eredivisie club Groningen for the rest of the season.

On 1 July 2024, Bogarde was signed by LASK.

Bogarde began his international career with the Netherlands under-15 national team in 2017, before playing for the under-16 team until 2018. In 2019, he was included in the Dutch squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in the Republic of Ireland. The Netherlands won the tournament, defeating Italy 4–2 in the final, with Bogarde appearing in all six matches and later selected by the UEFA technical observers for the team of the tournament. As a result, the Netherlands under-17 team qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil later that year. Bogarde was included in the Dutch squad for the tournament, in which he made three appearances as the Netherlands finished fourth.

In March 2026, Bogarde was called up to represent Suriname internationally. On 26 March, he made his first senior international start in a 2–1 loss to Bolivia during the World Cup qualifying inter-confederation playoffs.

Bogarde was born in Rotterdam, and is of Surinamese descent. His uncle, Winston Bogarde, is a former footballer who was capped for the Netherlands, while his younger brother Lamare is an Aston Villa player and Dutch youth international.
