Maragato is a name given in Brazil to the southerners who initiated the Federalist Revolution (1893-1895) in protest against the federal government. The conflict affected the entire southern region of the country.

In the state of Rio Grande do Sul the movement was represented by Silveira Martins.

They wore red neckerchiefs for identification, symbolizing their opposition.
