Portuguese poet and noblewomanFilipa de Almada (1453-1497 CE) was a Portuguese poet and noblewoman.
Almada is known to have lived and written during the reigns of kings Alfonso V and John II of Portugal. She was the granddaughter of Philippa of Lancaster, queen of Portugal. Almada married Rui Moniz, a fellow-poet, and they had a son together, Francisco de Sousa Mancias. 
In the royal court of the time, poetry was a popular skill and pastime; courtiers would frequently participate in poetry competitions. Almada was noted for her skill, and her poetry was included in the 1516 songbook "Cancioneiro Geral" anthologized by Garcia de Resende.
