José Maria de Mascarenhas Relvas de Campos (Golegã, Golegã, March 5, 1858 – Alpiarça, Casa dos Patudos, October 31, 1929; Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛ ˈʁɛɫvɐʃ], was a Portuguese politician and 70th Prime Minister of Portugal.
An historic republican, it was he who proclaimed the republic from the balcony of the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon, on 5 October 1910. He was the second Minister of Finance during the provisional government led by Teófilo Braga, from 12 October 1910 to 3 September 1911.
After that, he served as ambassador of Portugal in Madrid, from 1911 to 1914. He was President of the Ministry (103rd Prime Minister), from 27 January to 30 March 1919, in one of the many short-lived governments of the Portuguese First Republic. His house in Alpiarça is now a museum, the Casa dos Patudos, where his art collection is exhibited.
He was the son of Carlos Augusto Mascarenhas Relvas de Campos (Golegã, Golegã, c. 1835 – Golegã, Golegã, 23 January 1884), fidalgo of the Royal Household, and his wife, Margarida Amélia Mendes de Azevedo e Vasconcelos (1838–1888), daughter of the 1st Viscount and 1st Count of Podentes, grand-niece of the 1st Viscount of Tavira, great-granddaughter of the 1st Baroness of Silva, and the representative of these titles.
