Francisco Pereira de Moura (1925-1998) was a Portuguese scholar, economist and politician opposed to the Estado Novo regime. He led the United Democratic Electoral Commission in the rigged 1969 National Assembly election and, according to official numbers tallied about 10% of the vote, but failed to gain any representation in the assembly. He faced harassment by the General Security Directorate and was later forced to give up his job teaching economics. Following the Carnation Revolution he briefly served as Minister without Portfolio and Minister for Social Affairs, the latter in Vasco Gonçalves' administration.
