Aristides de Sousa Mendes, född 19 juli 1885, död 3 april 1954, var en portugisisk diplomat.
Som portugisisk konsul i Bordeaux (Frankrike), under den tyska ockupationen, och mot portugisiska regeringens order, beviljade Aristides de Sousa Mendes 30 000 visa till flyktingar som ville fly Frankrike året 1940. Aristides de Sousa Mendes räddade därmed tiotusentals människor från deportation till förintelselägren, av vilka cirka 10 000 var judar.

This is one of the most well-known photos of en:Aristides Sousa Mendes. Its author is unknown and it belonged to Aristides himself. The photo has been freely reproduced in many books and in the internet. It is certainly in the public domain and, if not, its reproduction would anyway be "fair use" or something.
