Francisco Teixeira de Miranda, also known as Mirandinha, was a Brazilian slave trader in Luanda in the 1830s and 1840s. In 1843 he was convicted of having imported 47 captives via the sea.[1] His collection of artworks and documents now form part of museum exhibits on the slave trade in the National Museum of Brazil.[2][3] From 1837 he employed the slave trader Arsénio Pompílio Pompeu de Carpo.
