Alfredo Ernesto de Sá Cardoso (June 6, 1864 – April 24, 1950), commonly known as Alfredo de Sá Cardoso (Portuguese pronunciation: [aɫˈfɾedu eɾˈnɛʃtu dɨ ˈsa kɐɾˈdozu]), or just Sá Cardoso, was a Portuguese republican politician of the Portuguese First Republic, who served twice as Prime Minister of Portugal.
Born in Lisbon, Sá Cardoso was the son of Adelaide Leopoldina de Sá Cardoso. He would eventually marry Gabriel Moreira and had issue. After his first studies, he entered the Colégio Militar (Military College) and, then in the Escola do Exército (Army School), where he studies in the branch of artillery. He became an officer of the army and progressed in his career (second lieutenant, 1886; first lieutenant, 1888; captain, 1900; major, 1911; lieutenant-colonel, 1915; colonel, 1917) that would take him to the post of general.
He was mobilized in the Luanda military campaign, occupying the post of secretary of the district government (from 1888), and governor of the fortress of São Paulo de Luanda, and in the years 1917–1918, he was integrated in the Corpo Expedicionário Português (Portuguese Expeditionary Corp). He also served as a vogal of the Council for Ballistic Works.
He was a member of the Portuguese Republican Party, a member of the respective Consultative Junta (1913) and chief of the party (in 1919). He became linked with the Reconstitution Party, which he founded with Álvaro de Castro, and with the Republican Action, of which he was president.
Since 1893 he was a Freemason, being initiated in the Portugal Shop with the symbolic name of Alaíde, ascending to the 33rd degree, and being part of its Supreme Council since 1934.
