António José de Sousa Barroso (5 November 1854 – 31 August 1918) was a Portuguese missionary and prelate of the Catholic Church, who was Prelate of Mozambique from 1891 to 1897, Bishop of Saint Thomas of Mylapore from 1897 to 1899, and thence Bishop of Porto until his death.
The cause for Borroso's beatification was opened in 1992 by Archbishop Júlio Tavares Rebimbas. In June 2017, Pope Francis recognized a decree from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints stating that Barroso lived a life of heroic virtue and he is now referred to as venerable.
