António Pedro Nobre Carmona Rodrigues (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaɾˈmonɐ ʁuˈdɾiɡɨʃ]; born 23 June 1956 in Alvalade, Lisbon), grand-nephew of Óscar Carmona, is a university professor and a Portuguese politician. He was mayor of Lisbon (2004–2005, 2005–2007), and Minister of Public Works, Transportation and Habitation and the Minister of Cities in the 15th Constitutional Government of Portugal.
He is the son of António Óscar Carmona Rodrigues (Chaves, Santa Maria Maior –), a maternal nephew of his namesake Óscar Carmona, and wife Diogilda Nobre de Carvalho (Mafra, 14 February 1918 –).
In 1973, Carmona Rodrigues entered the IST but immediately requested a transfer to the Portuguese Military Academy, where in 1978 he obtained a degree in civil engineering.
Between 1981 and 1982, he worked in Delft, Netherlands, specializing in hydraulics.
Upon returning to Portugal, he was invited to be an Assistant of the Department of Sciences and Engineering of the Environment, part of the School of Sciences and Technology of the New University of Lisbon, where he has worked since 1988.
In 1992, Rodrigues became a Doctor of Environmental Engineering through the New University of Lisbon. Since then, he has functioned as an Auxiliary Professor, having been a President of the Pedagogic Commission of the Degree course in Environmental Engineering between 1993 and 1996.
