Nathalie Teixeira de Oliveira (born 16 November 1977) is a French-Portuguese politician. She was a member of the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic from 2022 to 2024,[1] and served as deputy mayor of Metz in France until 2020.[2]

In the 2017 French legislative election, she was a candidate for the National Assembly in Moselle's 3rd constituency.[3] She was a candidate in the 2019 European Parliament election in France,[4] and the 2024 European Parliament election in Portugal.[5] She was born in Metz to Portuguese parents who emigrated to France in the 1960s.[6]

As the first luso-descendant elected to the Portuguese Assembly,[7] Oliveira fought for changes to the electoral law for the Portuguese diaspora and promised to fight for the rights of the Portuguese people living outside of Portugal.[8][9]
