The 1930 Campeonato de Portugal Final was the final match of the 1929–30 Campeonato de Portugal, the 9th season of the Campeonato de Portugal, the Portuguese football knockout tournament, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). The match was played on 1 June 1930 at the Campo de Palhavã in Lisbon between Benfica and Barreirense, and the former won 3–1 after extra-time to claim their first-ever Campeonato de Portugal.
According to the regulations, the final should have been played on a neutral field, but the Lisbon Football Association arranged the meeting to be held at Campo Grande, the playing field of Benfica. Benfica player João Oliveira had been suspended for attacking a referee in a game weeks before, but at the last minute, this Oliveira was "amnestied" from his eight-month punishment in order to be able to play in the final. And in addition to all this, Silvestre Rosmaninho, one of Benfica's oldest partners, was appointed as the referee of the final. The Barreirense protests, which reached the final without a single defeat throughout the whole season, were ignored, and after scoring the opening goal, Benfica equalized still in the first half during an illegal play due to Benfica players pushing the Barreirense goalkeeper Francisco Câmara into the goal before the ball went in. In extra time, the amnestied Oliveira scored Benfica's second goal in an eventual 3–1 victory.
