Luís Teixeira (1564 - 1604) was a Portuguese Jesuit cartographer, and mathematician. He had two sons, also cartographers. Little is known of his life and education, but he would be highly placed: he became cartographer to the Spanish Crown. His work would be widely disseminated, especially in the maps of Ortelius, Hondius and their successors. His map of Japan, published by Ortelius, would be the first detailed separate map of the island. His charts also informed the mapping of Brazil, and of the African coast.
