The Águas Livres Aqueduct (Aqueduto das Águas Livres or Aqueduct of the Free Waters) is a historic aqueduct in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering. The main course of the aqueduct covers 18 km, but the whole network of canals extends through nearly 58 km.

Het aquaduct van Aguas Livres heeft Lissabon ruim twee eeuwen lang van water voorzien. In 1731 werd begonnen met de bouw. De bouw heeft maar liefst tot de 19e eeuw geduurd, omdat de capaciteit ontoereikend werd en er steeds nieuwe leidingen gelegd moesten worden. Sinds 1967 is het aquaduct niet meer actief.
