'''Francisco de Paula Rodrigues Alves''', [[Privy Councillor|PC]] ({{IPA-pt|fɾɐ̃ˈsisku dʒi ˈpawlɐ ʁoˈdɾiɡiz ˈawvis}}; 7 July 1848 – 16 January 1919) was a Brazilian politician who first served as president of the [[São Paulo (state)|Province of São Paulo]] in 1887, then as Treasury minister in the 1890s. Rodrigues Alves was elected the fifth [[president of Brazil]] in 1902 and served until 1906.

Rodrigues Alves was born in the city of [[Guaratinguetá]], [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]]. He graduated as a lawyer from the ''[[Faculdade de Direito do Largo de São Francisco]]'', [[São Paulo]], in 1870. His public career started as councilman in his native city, from 1866 to 1870. He became prosecutor in 1870. In 1872 he became a member of the state house of representatives until 1879. Also during the period of the [[Empire of Brazil]], he took office as president of the province of São Paulo, from 1887 until 1888. After the proclamation of the Republic, he was a member of the Constitutional Assembly, and also a member of the house of representatives (1891/1893). He occupied the position of Treasury Secretary twice, from 1891 to 1892 and from 1894 to 1896.

He ran again for the presidency in 1918, [[1918 Brazilian general election|won the election with over 99% of the vote]], and was scheduled to take office on 15 November 1918. He was unable to do so because of illness, and he died on 16 January 1919, a victim of the [[Spanish flu]] epidemic of 1918–1919.<ref>{{citation|year=2004|title=Soldiers of the Pátria: a history of the Brazilian Army, 1889–1937|last=McCann|first=Frank D.|author-link=Frank D.
