António Manuel Filipe Rocha Pimentel (born 5 December 1959 in São Pedro de Alva, Penacova) is a Portuguese academic and art historian currently the director of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal.

Bringing the Museum onto the streets, which, in 2015, took to the historical neighborhoods of Lisbon replicas of works from its collections of Portuguese and European paintings, helped promote the institution at the national and international level.

The campaign mobilized 171 organizations and fifteen thousand individuals to make donations, resulting in the acquisition of the painting A Adoração dos Magos (The Adoration of the Magi, 1828) by Domingos Sequeira.

[6] Despite initially being appointed by the Minister of Culture Gabriela Canavilhas for his ‘administrative spirit,’ his work at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, which he describes as a quiet revolution,’ broadly changed the general perception of the institution, modernizing it and making it more international, based on a growing network of partnerships, both Portuguese and foreign.

He disagreed with ministerial policy for the sector regarding the terms of the new statute for the autonomous management of museums, monuments, and palaces, this led to his reluctance to remain once his service commission had ended, leading him to return to his university career.
