费尔南多·佩索阿（，），生於里斯本，是葡萄牙詩人與作家。 他生前以詩集《使命》而聞名於世。 他被認為是繼路易·德贾梅士之後最偉大的葡語作家。文評家卜倫在他的作品《西方正典》形容為他是與諾貝爾獎得主巴勃魯·聶魯達最能夠代表二十世紀的詩人。在2007年票選中，他排名第八。

寫作風格 
他在文學上以「創造」性格聞名，我們稱這種寫作手法為「異名」(Heteronymy)。各個「異名者」(heteronyms)有着不同的阅历、性格与人生哲学。異名者与作者「自我」之间常常互通书信，交流思想。在眾多角色中，以「自我」加上另外三個「異名者」最為成熟及最廣為人知。三個「異名者」分別是Álvaro de Campos、Ricardo Reis和Alberto Caeiro。在他們當中，「自我」通常都是最能夠帶出真理、存在及個性等深層哲學意義的角色。

自我(Ortónimo) 
「佩索亞的自我」性格很全面，本身也是個作家，但是總離不開士巴斯梯斯式的愛國主義思想。他的「自我」在某程度上深受一些宗教理念影響，如通神論思想及共濟會的宗教觀。故此，「自我」的詩詞充滿神話及史詩式的氣魄，有時還有一種悲劇的味道。他作為一個普世主義(Universalism)詩人，他的世界觀可能受到東方及理性主義哲學思想所影響，顯得相當矛盾，他同時接受單一及多方面的世界觀。所以，這倒令佩索亞有十足的理由把其他的三個「異名者」連同《使命》中的「半自我」－Bernando Soares從「自我」分開出來。

以葡萄牙歷史人物為背景的詩集《使命》中的佩索亞，就是最能夠代表這個「自我」，這也是他生前唯一出版的詩集。
