Antônio Lemos Barbosa (15 September 1910 – 5 September 1970) was a Brazilian priest, notably recognized for his contributions to Tupinology, that is, the study of Old Tupi.[1][2][3]

Born in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, he pursued studies for seven years at the Gregorian University in Rome, where he earned doctoral degrees in Philosophy and Theology. He was ordained a priest by Marchetti Selvaggiani on 25 July 1934. Barbosa served as a professor of Ethnography and Indigenous Languages at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).[4] In 1956, he published the work Curso de tupi antigo: gramática, exercícios, textos (lit. 'Course of Old Tupi: Grammar, Exercises, Texts'), which received favorable reviews from contemporary critics.[5] Basílio de Magalhães, for instance, declared the work constituted a didactic revolution.[6] Barbosa died on 5 September 1970, after being hospitalized for two months.[1][2]
