Jarbas Gonçalves Passarinho (January 11, 1920 – June 5, 2016) was a Brazilian military officer and politician. Passarinho began his political career when he was appointed Governor of Pará. He served as head of several government ministries during both the Brazilian military government (1964–1985) and the transition to democracy. His government portfolio's included Minister of Labor (1967–1969), Minister of Education (1969–1974), Minister of Social Security (1983–1985), and Minister of Justice (1990–1992). Passarinho was also a member of the Federal Senate, representing Pará for two tenures during military rule and the return to democracy, including a period as President of the Federal Senate from 1981 to 1983.
Jarbas Passarinho was born on January 11, 1920, in Xapuri, Acre, to Inacio da Loiola, a small business owner, and Julia Gonçalves Passarinho. He attended Escola Preparatoria de Cadetes de Porto Alegre and Escola Militar do Realango in Rio de Janeiro to prepare for a career in the Brazilian Army.
He was an Army officer when the Brazilian Armed Forces seized power in 1964 and established the Brazilian military government, a military dictatorship which ruled the country from 1964 to 1985. He began his political career in Pará in 1964, when President Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco, the country's first leader following the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, appointed Passarinho as the Governor of Pará. Passarinho served as Governor from 1964 to 1966, when he left the Governor's office to take a seat in the Federal Senate. He would be succeeded in 1966 by his protege, Major Alacid Nunes.
