Tristão Vaz Teixeira (c. 1395 — 1480) foi escudeiro do Infante D. Henrique, segundo alguns de origem inglesa, a quem acompanhou a Ceuta e Tânger, onde se mostrou "homem assaz ardido". Mais tarde foi armado cavaleiro. Com João Gonçalves Zarco descobriu a ilha de Porto Santo, que foi encarregado de colonizar. Vai povoar depois a ilha da Madeira em 1425. Coube-lhe a capitania do Machico com carta de doação de 11 de Maio de 1440. Organizou várias expedições à África, com caravelas suas. Por abuso de autoridade, esteve desterrado da sua jurisdição à qual voltou perdoado, em 1452. Casou com Branca Teixeira, da qual tomou o apelido, e deixou numerosa descendência, hoje largamente espalhada pelo arquipélago da Madeira. Faleceu em Silves já de idade avançada.
