Tomé José de Barros Queirós (Thomé José de Barros Queiroz in Portuguese of the early 20th century; Ílhavo, 2 February 1872 — Lisbon, 5 May 1925) was a Portuguese trader, capitalist and politician of the period of the Portuguese First Republic. Among others posts, he served as member of the parliament, Minister of Finances and eventually President of the Ministry (Prime Minister). He was also a member of the Masonry.

A street in the heart of the Baixa district of Lisbon bears his name in celebration of his accomplishments. Once a popular destination for tourists, it has recently experienced problems with crime and poverty.
