Vítor Hugo de Azevedo Coutinho, GCC (Victor Hugo in the Portuguese of the beginning of the 20th century; 1871 — 1955) was a Portuguese naval officer, politician and professor at the University of Coimbra and at the Escola Naval (Naval School). He was a member of the Democratic Party and served as President of the Ministry of Portugal (Prime Minister) of the 7th government of Portuguese First Republic, having led the country between 12 December 1914 and 25 January 1915. His government's composition was essentially made up of second-line political figures, and his ministry was jokingly called "Os miseráveis de Victor Hugo" ("The miserables of Victor Hugo") for the Victor Hugo's book Les Miserables.
