Alfredo Rodrigues Gaspar (8 December 1865 in Funchal – 1 December 1938 in Lisbon) was a Portuguese military officer and politician. Rodrigues Gaspar was President of the Ministry (Prime Minister) of one of the many governments of the Portuguese First Republic.

Biography

He was born on August 8, 1865, in the Penha de França neighbourhood, in what is today's freguesia of Sé, in Funchal, to Manuel Rodrigues Gaspar, a carpenter and Maria Augusta.[1]

He was President of the Council of Ministers (Prime-Minister) in one of the First Portuguese Republic's many governments, between July 6, 1924 and November 22, 1924. He was also Minister of Agriculture between July 6 and 22, 1924.[2][3]

The political instability of the First Republic would make him take the positions of Minister of Education, Minister of the Colonies and last President of the Chamber of Deputies. He was also teacher at the Naval School.[4]

At the time of his death, on November 30 1938, he was director of the Navy's Explosives Laboratory and president of the Technical Commission of Naval Artillery, holding the post retired Captain.[4]

He was married to Carolina Maria Saavedre, sister of Tomás Óscar Pinto da Cunha Saavedra, Baron of Saavedra.
