Francisco Veredas Bandeiras, better known as Paco Bandeira, (born 2 May 1945, Elvas, Portugal) is a singer and musician from Portugal.

He is known for representing his country in the second edition of the OTI Festival in 1973 which was held in Belo Horizonte.

In early 2012 he was accused by the Public Prosecutor's Office of domestic violence against his ex-wife, Maria Roseta Ferreira.[1][2]

In July 2012, he was sentenced to a suspended sentence of three years and four months for domestic violence and possession of a prohibited weapon. The sentence was upheld by the Lisbon Court of Appeal upon appeal.[3][4]
