Catarina Cordeiro Vieira (born 14 May 1996)[1] is a Portuguese-born Dutch politician of the progressive GroenLinks party.

She ran for the European Parliament in June 2024 as the tenth candidate on the shared GroenLinks–PvdA list. The party received a plurality in the Netherlands of eight seats, and Vieira was elected because of the nearly 32,000 preference votes cast for her.[2][3] Her focus is on international trade and human rights.[4]
