Infante Fernando of Portugal (Fernando Maria Luís de Saxe-Coburgo-Gotha e Bragança; 23 July 1846 – 6 November 1861) was the fourth son of Queen Maria II of Portugal and King-consort Fernando II and a member of the House of Braganza.{{efn|"While remaining patrilineal dynasts of the duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha according to pp. 88, 116 of the 1944 Almanach de Gotha, Title 1, Chapter 1, Article 5 of the [http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14904/pg14904.html 1838 Portuguese constitution] declared, with respect to Ferdinand II of Portugal's issue by his first wife, that 'the Most Serene House of Braganza is the reigning house of Portugal and continues through the Person of the Lady Queen Maria II'. Thus their mutual descendants constitute the Coburg line of the House of Braganza"}}

Fernando was born in Lisbon on 23 July 1846. He was a lieutenant in the Fifth Battalion of Caçadores, and received the Grand Cross of the Order of Our Lady of the Conception of Vila Viçosa.
