Infante Miguel of Portugal, Prince of Beira (or of Braganza; pron. IPA: [mi'gɛɫ]; English: Michael) (26 April 1820 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was the stillborn son of Portuguese heir to the throne Pedro, Prince of Brazil (future Emperor Pedro I of Brazil) and Maria Leopoldina of Austria and was a member of the Braganza house.

Prince Miguel was named thus, in honor of his father's younger brother Miguel of Portugal (1802-1866). The latter of whom later became the 30th (or, as some historians believe, 31st) King of Portugal and Algarves from 1828 to 1834.
