Maria Teresa of Braganza (English: Mary Theresa; Ajuda, Lisbon, April 29 1793-Trieste, January 17 1874) was a Portuguese princess and heir to the throne of Portugal between 1793 and 1795, when her younger brother António Pio of Braganza was born. She used the title Princess of Beira (usually used by the heir to the throne). Maria Teresa was the first daughter of King John VI of Portugal and his wife Carlota Joaquim of Borbón (daughter of Charles IV of Spain).

She was married on May 13 1810 in Rio de Janeiro (where the royal family was exiled because of the Napoleonic wars) to her cousin Pedro Carlos, Prince of Spain and Portugal. She was widowed on May 26 1812 and married again to Infante Carlos of Spain (her brother-in-law and uncle), widower of her sister Maria Francisca, in 1838.

She died in Trieste on 17 January 1838.
