The Portuguese campaigns of 1623–1625 were a series of military expeditions organized by the Kingdom of Portugal to explore the Amazon River and expel Dutch, English, and other foreign factories established in the lower Amazon.
They include the campaigns of Luís Aranha de Vasconcelos and of Bento Maciel Parente.
