Emanuel Nunes Carvalho (1771, London - 1817, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American Rabbi and Lexicographer.

In 1799, Carvalho secured employment as rabbi of the community in Bridgetown, Barbados. In 1806, he immigrated to the United States and taught Hebrew to Jewish children and Christian clergyman. In 1811, he was appointed rabbi of the Jewish community in Charleston, South Carolina, and conducted a Jewish school there. In 1814, he served as rabbi in Philadelphia's Mikve Yisroel Synagogue.
