The House of Sacadura Botte is an extant Portuguese noble family, patrilineally descended from Mateus Gomes de Aguiar, a Portuguese Knight of Santiago who was nobilitated in 1653 for his military service in Bahia during the Dutch–Portuguese War.

The House of Sacadura Botte as it exists today originated from the marriage in 1686 of João Baptista de Aguiar e Azevedo, son and heir of Mateus Gomes de Aguiar, and D. Maria de Proença de Azevedo Pacheco de Sacadura Botte, sister and heiress of Manuel Pacheco de Sacadura Botte, 8th Lord of Alameda and 6th of Peña Parda, and head of Spanish House of Sacadura Botte. Upon the latter's death without issue, the members of the Portuguese House of Sacadura Botte matrilineally inherited the surnames, arms, and patrimonial possessions of the extinct Spanish House of Sacadura Botte.

The Spanish House of Sacadura Botte, in turn, had originated from the 16th century marriage of a member of the House of Botte, which took its name from El Botte, a dehesa on which its former seat of Castle of Belvís de Monroy is built; and the female heir of a cadet branch of the House of Alvarado, which was originally called House of Sacadura after the village of Secadura in which its seat, the Tower of Alvarado, was located.
