Teófilo Duarte (6 October 1898 – 16 May 1958) was a Portuguese colonial administrator, a military officer and a politician. He was a supporter of the Sidonist movement and the Estado Novo.[1]
He was born on 6 October 1898 in Idanha-a-Nova, eastern Portugal. An army officer, he was governor of Cape Verde from 9 March 1918 to 1919.[2] Having participated in movements against the democratic governments, he was dismissed from the Portuguese Army in 1920, only to be reinstated after the 28 May 1926 coup d'état.[1] He was governor of Portuguese Timor from 30 September 1926 to 22 December 1928.[3] He encouraged Portuguese immigration to the colony, including political deportees.[4] Under his rule, forced labour took a rise in East Timor.[5]
He was Minister of Colonies from 4 February 1947 to 2 August 1950 under Prime Minister Salazar.[6] On 1 September 1950, he was awarded with the Grand Cross of the Military Order of Christ.[7]
