David Melgueiro (before 1673) is purported to have been a Portuguese navigator and explorer who allegedly sailed from Japan to Portugal through the Northeast Passage in 1660, at a time when Portuguese vessels were banned from Japan. The story is considered to be a falsehood, with obvious factual errors in the account of the voyage and no historical evidence to support it or even confirm Melgueiro's existence.
