João Carlos Gregório Domingos Vicente Francisco de Saldanha Oliveira e Daun, (1790-1876), 1st Count, 1st Marquess and later 1st Duke of Saldanha (pron. IPA [saɫ'dɐɲɐ]), was a Portuguese marshal and statesman.
The Duke of Saldanha, as he is commonly known, was one of the top dominating personalities in war and politics of Portugal, from the revolution of 1820 to his death in 1876. During that period he led no less than seven coups d’etat. He played an important part in the struggle between D. Pedro and D. Miguel during the Liberal Wars.
He was made a duke in 1846, and was Prime Minister for three times between 1846 and 1870.
