Ernesto Rodolfo Hintze Ribeiro (Ponta Delgada, Azores Islands, November 7, 1849 – Lisbon, August 1, 1907) was a Portuguese politician, statesman, and peer, who served as Prime Minister of Portugal three times, once during the reign of King Luís I and twice during King Carlos I's reign. A member of the Regenerator Party, Hintze Ribeiro's reforms in forestry, pharmacy, and autonomy for insular Portugal are the basis of these fields' policies today.
He was a prominent parliamentarian and Peer of the Realm, Attorney-General of the Crown, Minister of Public Works, of Finance and Foreign Affairs as well as uncontested leader of the Regenerator Party, holding the position of President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) thrice (February 22, 1893 – February 5, 1897; July 26, 1900 – October 20, 1904; March 19, 1906 – May 19, 1906).
He was one of the dominant politicians of the final part of the Portuguese Constitutional Monarchy, occupying the post of Prime Minister longer than any other in his time. He was responsible for important reforms - some of which are still valid - such as the insular autonomy for the Azores and Madeira islands (1895), the pharmacies' law, and forest's law (1901).
He was made effective Councillor of State in 1891, received many decorations, among them the Great-Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword. He was associate of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
A street in Ponta Delgada has been named in his honor.
