Alfredo Rodrigo Duarte ComIH (25 February 1891 – 26 June 1982), better known as Alfredo Marceneiro, was a Portuguese fado singer. His stage name is derived from his original profession as a woodworker (marceneiro, in Portuguese). Marceneiro is considered a standard against whom generations of fado singers are still measured today.
