João Cabral was a Jesuit missionary, who, along with Estêvão Cacella, were the first Europeans to enter Bhutan in 1627. The following year he became the first European to visit neighboring Nepal.

Cabral was born in Celorico, Portugal, in 1599. In 1615 he joined the Society of Jesus, and in 1624 he left for India.
