Dom José Alves Correia da Silva (15 January 1872 – 4 December 1957) was a Portuguese priest.

After training for the priesthood he was ordained a priest on 5 August 1894, at the age of twenty-two, and began his service to the church at Oporto.

In 1917, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared several times to three children of Silva's diocese and to have entrusted them with three secrets, in connection with which there was later much confusion.

On 13 October 1930, Dom José announced in a pastoral letter that he was giving official approval to the authenticity of the apparitions.

In October 1943, when she was seriously ill and there were fears for her life, Dom José pressed her again, ordering her to put the third secret in writing.
