Navegador português, nascido em Belmonte, por 1467-68, e a quem D. Manuel I confiou o comando da segunda armada que mandou à Índia. Partiu Cabral de Lisboa em 9 de Março de 1500, e, como se tivesse desviado a sua rota para descobrir novas terras, não tardou a encontrar o Brasil, a 3 de Maio de 1500, no dia de Santa Cruz. Daí seguiu para a Índia.
