Carlos Alfredo de Brito, GCIH (born Portuguese Mozambique, February 9, 1933) is a Portuguese politician. He joined the illegal Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) during the authoritarian New State regime (1932-1974), by whom he was imprisoned. In the presidential election of 1980, Brito was the Communist Party candidate, but withdrew shortly before the elections in support of the incumbent President, General António Ramalho Eanes, who was facing a stiff challenge from the right-wing António Soares Carneiro. He served in the Assembly of the Republic until 1991.
