João Mansur (July 22, 1923 – February 22, 2012) was a Brazilian politician who served as the Governor of Paraná from July 4, 1973, until August 11, 1973.[1][2][3] Mansur, who was the chairman of the Parana state legislature at the time, became governor when his predecessor, Governor Pedro Viriato Parigot, died in office.[1] He served as governor for a little over one month until the appointment of his successor, Emílio Hoffmann Gomes.[1][3]

Mansur was a merchant before entering politics.[3] Mansur began his political career in 1951, when he was elected an alderman in Irati, Paraná.[1][3] He also served as the city's mayor.[1] In 1958, Mansur was elected to the state legislature, where he served for five terms.[1]

Mansur died in Curitiba, Paraná, on February 22, 2012, at the age of 88.[1] He was buried at the Cemitério Parque Iguaçu in Curitiba.[1] Governor Beto Richa declared three days of official mourning.[1][3]
