Viscount of Barrosa (Portuguese: Visconde da Barrosa) is a Portuguese title of nobility, created on July 9, 1892 by Carlos I, king of Portugal, for José Ribeiro Lima da Costa Azevedo, 1st Viscount of Barrosa (Vila Frescaínha, Barcelos, July 8, 1851 – Vila Franca, Viana do Castelo, November 30, 1925), a prominent political figure in Viana do Castelo|Viana and local philanthropist.[1]

The title is derived from Casa da Barrosa, an eighteenth-century manor house inherited by the first holder's wife António Ribeiro Lima in Vila Franca do Lima, Viana do Castelo.[2]
