Francisco António de Almeida

Francisco António de Almeida (c. 1702–1755) was a Portuguese composer and organist.

In 1724, Pier Leone Ghezzi drew his caricature, describing him as "a young but excellent composer of concertos and church music who sang with extreme taste".

In 1728, the first of his serenatas, Il trionfo della virtù, was performed in Lisbon at the palace of Cardinal João da Mota e Silva.

His comic opera, La pazienza di Socrate, was performed at the royal palace in 1733.

A contemporary diarist states that Almeida composed music for the popular performances of presépios (Nativity scenes) in the Mouraria quarter of Lisbon.
