'''Deputy Prime Minister of Portugal''' (Portuguese: ''Vice-Primeiro-Ministro de Portugal'') is the title of the Deputy Head of Government of the [[Portugal|Portuguese Republic]].

The position is not currently held by any member of the government. As deputy head of the executive branch, the Deputy Prime Minister replaces the Prime Minister in the event of the latter's incapacity or death. The Constitution of the Portuguese Republic provides for the existence of one or more deputy prime ministers. The deputy prime minister can accumulate the function of head of government with the portfolios of one or more ministries.

== Appointment ==
The Deputy Prime Minister is appointed by the [[President of Portugal|President of the Republic]] on the advice of the [[Prime Minister of Portugal|Prime Minister]].

== Holder ==
The post has been vacant since [[November 26|26 November]] [[2015]]. The last holder was [[Paulo Portas]], during the [[XX Constitutional Government of Portugal|20th Constitutional Government]].

== Official residence ==
When Paulo Portas was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister, he chose the ''Palácio das Laranjeiras'', located in [[Sete Rios metro station|Sete Rios]], [[Lisbon]], as the place to set up his office. The palace, also known as ''Palácio do Conde de Farrobo'', was built in the 18th century and served as the official residence of the prime minister. In 1903, the Count of Burnay bought the estate and the palace, eventually giving part of the estate to the [[Lisbon Zoo]] (which until then had been located in Palhavã Park, where the [[Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation]] now stands). The [[Ministry of the Colonies (Portugal)|Ministry of the Colonies]] bought the palace in 1940 to set up the [[Navy Museum (Portugal)|Marine Museum]] there, but this never happened. The site has since housed various ministries, including the Colonial Ministry during the [[Estado Novo (Portugal)|Estado Novo]].
