Alfredo Jorge Nobre da Costa, GCC (Lapa, Lisbon, September 10, 1923—Lisbon, February 4, 1996), commonly known just by Nobre da Costa, pron. IPA: ['nɔbɾ(ɨ) dɐ 'kɔʃtɐ] was a Portuguese, engineer and politician. He was the only son of Alfredo Henrique Andresen da Costa, born on November 4, 1893 (of Goan, Italian, French and/or Catalan, Danish and Portuguese ancestry), and wife Portuguese Maria Helena Nobre, and paternal grandson of Alfredo da Costa. His only sister was Vera Luísa Nobre da Costa, born on May 15, 1921 and married on May 5, 1960 to Brodie Lennox, without issue.
A moderate independent center-left politician, he was chosen by President António Ramalho Eanes to lead a government that would finish the four-year legislative term, which had been initiated in the Portuguese legislative election, 1976. His cabinet consisted of independents. However, it failed to gain a majority in the Assembly of the Republic, and Nobre da Costa resigned. He was replaced by another independent, Carlos Alberto da Mota Pinto.
He married on May 5, 1951 Maria de Lourdes de Carvalho e Cunha Fortes da Gama and had an only daughter Vera Maria Nobre da Costa, born on February 5, 1952, second wife of her relative João Guilherme Andresen van Zeller, born on October 15, 1941, without issue.
