Joaquim Marques Esparteiro (28 January 1895 – 1976) was a Portuguese navy officer and colonial administrator.

Esparteiro was born in Abrantes on 28 January 1895. He attended the course of Naval School with a specialization in Artillery, then he graduated from University of Coimbra or University of Lisbon with a licentiate. He was also a professor of Ballistics, Calculation, Mechanics and the Artillery Specialization Course for Officers at Naval School.[1][2]

On 13 November 1951, Esparteiro was appointed the Governor of Macau, replacing Albano Rodrigues de Oliveira.[3] During his tenure, the tension between Macau and Communist China was palpable. In 1952, a major border incident happened at Portas do Cerco with Portuguese African Troops exchanging fire with Chinese Communist border guards.[4] In 1955, the Chinese government forced Macau to cancel the 400 year celebration of foundation [zh].[5] He left office as governor on 8 March 1957.[3]

In Taipa, Admiral Marques Esparteiro Road (Estrada Almirante Marques Esparteiro, 史伯泰海軍將軍馬路) was named after him.
