Caetano Xavier dos Remedios Furtado (14 October 1897 – 13 June 1980) was a botanist who specialized in palms. He worked at the Singapore botanical gardens. He described nearly 104 species of palms, worked on the African genus Hyphaene and on the family Araceae. The species was named after him by John Dransfield in 1978. He was also involved in clarifying the terms "illegitimate" and "superfluous" names in taxonomic nomenclature. He also coined the word "basinym" which was modified as basionym.

He knew Portuguese and English from early on and studied Italian so as to be able to read the works of Beccari, as well as Spanish, French and German in order to read systematic literature. Apart from palm taxonomy, he also wrote on matter of systematics and also wrote extensively including some biographical notes on I.H. Burkill.
