Beatriz Pereira de Alvim (1380–1415) was the daughter of Nuno Álvares Pereira and his wife Leonor de Alvim, and first Duchess of Braganza. On 8 November 1401, she married Afonso, Duke of Braganza. Technically, she was never a duchess since she died before the actual granting of the title.
Afonso and Beatriz had three children.
- Afonso of Braganza (1400–1460), 4th Count of Ourém and 1st Marquis of Valença, had a natural son from Dona Brites de Sousa (some say they secretly married). His issue took the name de Portugal
- Isabella of Braganza (1402–1465), married her uncle Infante John, Lord of Reguengos, son of John I of Portugal
- Ferdinand I, Duke of Braganza (1403–1478), succeeded his father as second Duke of Braganza
Through her daughter Isabella of Braganza, she was a direct matrilineal ancestor of Mary I of England.
