António José Bastos Lopes (born 19 December 1953) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central defender.

After only seven Primeira Liga games in his first three years combined, he benefitted from the departure of legendary Humberto Coelho – who barred him at the stopper position – to Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

[2] After no appearances whatsoever in the 1986–87 campaign, aged nearly 34, Lopes retired from football, amassing league totals of 274 matches and three goals for Benfica.

[2] Bastos Lopes made his debut for Portugal on 9 May 1979, playing the last minute in a 1–0 win in Norway for the UEFA Euro 1980 qualifiers.

He went on to earn ten caps in six years, being selected to the squad that appeared at Euro 1984 but being an unused member for the eventual semi-finalists.
