João Crisóstomo de Amorim Pessoa (14 October 1810 – 22 December 1888) was a Portuguese bishop.

He was professor in ecclesiastical sciences at the seminary in Coimbra and a substitute teacher at the Faculty of Theology in 1865.

In 1860, Pessoa became Bishop of Santiago de Cabo Verde which was ordained on 26 August, less than a year he left, by cardinal Manuel Bento Rodrigues da Silva.

[2] The governor José Guedes de Carvalho e Meneses conceded in 1868 for authorization for returning the metropolis.

He resigned in June 1883[2] and he retired to São João Baptista de Cabanas in the parish (now subdivision) of Dume in Braga.
