Infanta Eleanor of Portugal (pron. IPA: [liu'noɾ];), was a Portuguese infanta, daughter of King Edward of Portugal and his wife Leonor of Aragon. Leonor was born in Torres Vedras on September 18, 1434.

On 16 March 1452 she married the German King Frederick III and the two were crowned Holy Roman Emperor and Empress three days later, on 19 March 1452. Her dowry was used by her husband to alleviate his financial problems^{[citation needed]}.

With Frederick III she had five children:

• Christopher, Archduke of Austria (1454-1455)
• Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor (1459-1519)
• Helen, Archduchess of Austria (1460-1461)
• Kunigunde of Austria (1465-1520), married Albert IV, Duke of Bavaria
• John, Archduke of Austria (1466-1467)

It is from Empress Leonor that the Portuguese descent of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor derives.

Leonor died in Wiener Neustadt on September 3, 1467, and is buried in the same city in the Monastery of the Order of Cister.

Her tombstone is in the Neukloster of Wiener Neustadt.
