The National Salvation Junta (Portuguese: Junta de Salvação Nacional, Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒũtɐ ðɨ salvɐˈsɐ̃w nɐsiuˈnal]) was a group of military officers designated to maintain the government of Portugal in April 1974 after the Carnation Revolution had overthrown the Estado Novo dictatorial regime.

[1]: 46  This junta assumed power following a communiqué of its president, António de Spínola, at 1:30 a.m. on 26 April 1974.

The National Salvation Junta was the de jure governing body of Portugal following the Carnation Revolution.

The Junta was a pre-planned part of the national reform program envisioned by the Movimento das Forças Armadas (Movement of the Armed Forces; MFA), which aimed to exercise political power after the revolution and prior to the formation of a civilian government in order to prevent the collapse of the Presidency of the Republic (then held by Rear-Admiral Américo Tomás) and of the government.

The Constitutional Law 1/74 of 25 April 1974 was promulgated in order to set this process in motion.
