    Duarte Barbosa (d. 1521) was a Portuguese writer and trader. Living in the 15th and the 16th century, his father was Diogo Barbosa. He travelled as a supernumerary with Ferdinand Magellan in the Armada de Molucca expedition along with approximately 260 people of various ranks. During his journey, he wrote detailed accounts of foreign cultures.

    One of the few survivors of the Battle of Mactan in which Magellan was killed, Barbosa was made captain of the ship Victoria and the co-commander of the armada, where remained until he was killed at the Humabon feast.

    Among others that travelled along with him and Magellan were:
      Gonzalo Gómez de Espinosa (master-at-arms, captain of vessel Trinity after a fiasco at Brunei and on final voyage)
      Francisco Albo (pilot)
      Pedro de Valderrama
      Alvaro de Mesquita (Magellan's relative and supernumerary, assumes command of vessel San Antonio from de Coca, captain after mutiny, overpowered by mutiny led by Gomes and taken back to Spain)
      Cristóvão Rebêlo (Magellan's illegitimate son, dies at Mactan)
