José Augusto Alves Roçadas (6 April 1865 – 28 April 1926) was a career officer of the Portuguese Army and a appointed as a colonial administrator in Portuguese Angola and Macau.

During World War I, Alves Roçadas served as the commanding officer of Portuguese forces in southern Angola. He led them in combat against the German invasion of Portuguese Africa. Both sides used both regular military forces, such as the German forces, and regional auxiliaries or armed groups made up of indigenous and other peoples.

After the war, Roçadas participated in the preparation of the 28 May 1926 coup d'état, together with generals Manuel Gomes da Costa, Sinel de Cordes and Óscar Carmona. They created the Ditadura Nacional. Although originally marked to take up a post in the new government, he fell ill and died a month before the coup took place.
