Hospital de Dona Estefânia (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ɔʃpiˈtal ˈðonɐ (ɨ)ʃteˈfɐnjɐ]; "Queen Stephanie's Hospital") is a public Central Hospital serving the Greater Lisbon, Portugal, area as part of the Central Lisbon University Hospital Centre (CHULC), a state-owned enterprise.

Established in 1877 in memory of Queen Stephanie, this was the first Portuguese hospital specifically dedicated to the healthcare of children, and it remains a national reference in pediatric specialties, both medical and surgical. It serves the south of the country and Insular Portugal.
