Croatian Brazilians (Croato-brasileiro, Croata brasileiro) are Brazilians of full, partial, or predominantly Croat descent, or Croat-born people residing in Brazil.

It is estimated that 45,000 ethnic Croats live in Brazil.[2] The training and work qualifications of Croat emigrants in the inter-war period remained more or less unchanged from what it had been in the earlier period; most emigrants were unskilled farmers and the number of craftsmen who emigrated increased by only a small amount.

However, in the countries of South America which became very important emigration targets in the post-World War I period agricultural workers or other laborers were still in demand, and in those destinations the bulk of emigrants took up employment in agriculture (Argentina and Brazil) or in the mines (Chile and Bolivia).[3]
