Augusto César de Almeida de Vasconcelos Correia, GCSE (Lisbon, Santos o Velho, September 24, 1867 – Lisbon, Santa Catarina, September 27, 1951), better known as Augusto de Vasconcelos (Portuguese pronunciation: [awˈɡuʃtu dɨ vaʃkõˈsɛluʃ]) was a Portuguese surgeon, politician and diplomat.
He graduated at the Lisbon Medic-Cirurgical School, in 1891, where he also taught, later becoming a Professor of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon.
A Republican since his youth, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the first Constitutional Government of the Portuguese First Republic, whose Prime Minister was João Pinheiro Chagas, from October 12, 1911 to November 12, 1911. He succeeded Chagas as Prime Minister of another Portuguese Republican Party government, which was in power from November 11, 1911 to June 4, 1912. In that government, too, he held the post of Foreign Minister as well as that of Prime Minister. He was Foreign Minister again from June 16, 1912 to January 9, 1913.
Later he served as Plenipotentiary Minister in Madrid (1913–1914) and London (1914–1919), during World War I, which Portugal entered in 1916 on the Allies' side. Subsequently, he led the Portuguese delegation at the Peace Conference, in Paris, in 1919.
