Teresa Albuquerque (née Moraes; 1930 – June 2017) was an Indian historian who specialised in the Goan diaspora and the colonial history of Bombay.

[1] Albuquerque published several works on the colonial history of India, especially on the intersection of Portuguese and British rules.

Commodities flowed into British India while the Portuguese raised taxes in Goa to compensate for the loss of revenue.

A newly built railway line connecting Goa to British India then became a conduit for impoverished economic migrants heading to Bombay.

Albuquerque reported that there was so much demand for Goan musicians that one entrepreneur named Francisco Menezes sought unemployed men to march in processions, inflating their cheeks without blowing a note.
