The list of Portuguese ambassadors to UNESCO lists the permanent representatives of the Republic of Portugal to UNESCO in Paris .

Portugal under its authoritarian Estado Novo regime was increasingly isolated due to its adherence to the Portuguese colonial empire and did not join UNESCO until 1965. The international rejection of the Portuguese colonial wars finally led to Portugal leaving on June 18, 1971. After the left-wing Carnation Revolution in 1974 and the subsequent return to democracy, Portugal resumed its UNESCO membership on September 11, 1974.
