Domingos Fernandes Calabar (c. 1600 — 1635) was a plantation owner in the Captaincy of Pernambuco, an ally of Dutch Republic who invaded the Northeast of Brazil.
Little is known about this controversial character in the history of Brazil, born in Porto Calvo, Alagoas, then part of the Captaincy of Pernambuco, around 1600. He was baptized in the Catholic faith on March 15, 1610. He was a mulato; however, several chroniclers qualify him as mameluco and not mulatto. He studied with the Jesuits, and made money from smuggling. He came to become master of lands and mills.
