Armando Augusto Freire, known as Armandinho or Armando Freire (11 October 1891 - 21 December 1946) was a Portuguese fado guitarist and composer.

For Brazilian composer and singer (born 1953), see Armandinho. For Brazilian footballer (1911-1972), see Armando dos Santos (footballer).

American travel writer Lawton Mackall in a 1931 book Portugal For Two was the first foreign writer to give an account of Armandinho's performances, but by this time Armandinho was already legendary in Portugal.[1]

He was known for playing on the 12-string Portuguese guitar (Portuguese: guitarra portuguesa), and considered as one of the heirs of the fado tradition of Petrolino (Luís Carlos da Silva, who recorded just once in 1904).[2][3][4][5]
