Crispina Peres (1615 – after 1670), was a Euro-African nhara slave trader.

She was married to the Portuguese governor of Cacheu and had an influential position, controlling the trade between the Portuguese and the African indigenous rulers in the region as well as acting as a diplomatic mediator between them through her connections. In 1665, she was transported to Portugal and accused for practising traditional Pagan rituals despite being a Catholic, an inusual incident of a member of an indigenous person outside of Europe taken to Portugal to stand trial before the Inquisition for heresy. She was judged as a badly converted Catholic rather than a relapsed heretic pagan and allowed to return after having been sentenced to confiscation and public repentance.
