João do Canto e Castro da Silva Antunes Júnior, commonly known as João do Canto e Castro (pronounced|ʒuˈɐ̃ũ du ˈkɐ̃tu i ˈkaʃtɾu) or just Canto e Castro (Lisbon, May 19, 1862-Lisbon, March 14, 1934) was a Portuguese Marine officer and fifth President of the Portuguese Republic from December 16 1918 to October 5 1919.

In 1891 he married Mariana de Santo António Moreira Freire Correia Manoel Torres de Aboim (Lisbon, June 13, 1865 - January 18, 1946), sister of the 1st Viscount da Idanha and niece of the 1st Viscount de Vila Boim, and had issue.

He occupied the post of Navy Minister, to which he had been appointed by Sidónio Pais, the "President-King" on September 9 1918, and succeeded Pais after his murder on December 14 1918.

During his rule there were two attempts to carry out a revolution. The first one, in Santarém, in December 1918, was led by the republicans Francisco da Cunha Leal and Álvaro Xavier de Castro. The second one was monarchic and was perpetrated in January 1919 and organized by Paiva Couceiro, who for some time managed to control the northern part of the country in what was called the Monarchy of the North. Although Canto e Castro was a monarchist, as President of the Republic he had to fight against a movement that defended his own ideals.
