Beatriz Pereira de Alvim (1380–1414) was a Portuguese noblewoman, the only child of Nuno Álvares Pereira and his wife Leonor de Alvim.[1]

On 8 November 1401, she married Afonso, Count of Barcelos, illegitimate son of king John I of Portugal.[2] She died before her husband became Duke of Braganza.

Afonso and Beatriz had three children.

  • Afonso of Braganza (1400–1460),[3] 4th Count of Ourém and 1st Marquis of Valença, had a natural son from Dona Brites de Sousa (some say they secretly married). His issue took the name de Portugal
  • Isabella of Braganza (1402–1465), married her uncle Infante John, Lord of Reguengos, son of John I of Portugal
  • Ferdinand I, Duke of Braganza (1403–1478),[3] succeeded his father as second Duke of Braganza
