Dom Martinho de Portugal (1485 - 15 November 1547), also known as Martinho of Portugal, was a Portuguese archbishop, the only Archbishop of Funchal, holder of the largest Catholic jurisdiction in the world, ever created, which had as suffragans the dioceses like Angra do Heroísmo, São Tomé, Santiago and Goa. From its area, the future Diocese (today Archdiocese) of São Salvador da Bahia, would be dismembered and created in 1551.
