D. João of Braganza, Duke of Abrantes jure uxoris (12 June 1726 - 23 October 1780), more commonly known as João da Bemposta, was a legitimized natural son of Infante Francisco, Duke of Beja. A grandson of King Pedro II of Portugal, and thus a member of the House of Braganza, João held various offices during the reigns of his uncle King João V and cousin Queen Maria I.
