Infanta Beatriz of Portugal (pron. IPA: [biɐ'tɾiʃ]; English: Beatrice or Beatrix) was the daughter of Portuguese King Peter I and a Castilian noblewoman called Inês de Castro that had arrived in Portugal as a maid of Constance of Penafiel, recently married to Pedro I (Heir Prince at the time).

Beatrice was born in Coimbra around the period of 1347-1351 and she became Countess of Alburquerque when she married Sancho, Count of Alburquerque. She died in 1381.

Beatrice's entitlement to be considered an Infanta of Portugal is debatable. Some historians consider her a natural daughter of Peter I, so the title Infanta of Portugal could never be attributed to her. Other opinions refer that after the death of Inês de Castro, ordered by Pedro's father King Afonso IV of Portugal, the Prince after inheriting the throne admitted that he had married Inês secretly, and because of that she was a lawful Queen of Portugal.

Of Inês de Castro, Peter I had two sons and a daughter:

(Infanta) Beatrice of Portugal (1347/1351-1381)

(Infante) John of Portugal (1349-1387)

(Infante) Denis of Portugal (1354-1397)
