Virgílio do Carmo da Silva, SDB (born 27 November 1967) is an East Timorese Catholic prelate who was appointed Bishop of Dili on 30 January 2016.

Prior to his appointment to the episcopacy, he held various offices with the Society of St. Francis de Sales (the Salesians of Don Bosco).

[4] He received his episcopal consecration on 19 March 2016 from Archbishop Joseph Marino, Apostolic Nuncio to East Timor, assisted by Bishops Basílio do Nascimento of Baucau and Norberto do Amaral of Maliana.

[8] In April 2018, do Carmo da Silva spoke in support of the launch by the Catholic Church and the government of East Timor of a campaign to promote inbound spiritual pilgrimages.

He also asked his diocese's parish priests to collaborate with those who maintained the country's religious sites, not merely to keep them clean, but also to give visiting pilgrims peace of mind.

[9] The following month, police in Díli were placed on high alert after learning of potential attacks by Islamic extremists on churches as well as do Carmo da Silva, after the recent elections in the country.

[6] On 8 December 2021, do Carmo da Silva combined with Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak to inaugurate East Timor's first Catholic university, dedicated to John Paul II [de], the establishment of which fulfilled a long-term goal of the archdiocese.

[6][14] He continued: "The people and the Church of East Timor deserve this grace and recognition from God, in a country where the Gospel arrived 500 years ago and which celebrated the 20th anniversary of its independence on May 20.

"[6]During a papal consistory on 27 August 2022, Pope Francis created and proclaimed him cardinal priest, assigning him the title of Sant'Alberto Magno.

He praised East Timor's adoption earlier in 2022 of the Document on Human Fraternity signed by Pope Francis and Ahmed el-Tayeb in 2019.
