Luxembourgian Brazilians refers to Brazilian citizens of full, partial, or predominantly Luxembourgian ancestry, or Luxembourg-born immigrants in Brazil. There are an estimated 50,000 Brazilians of partial Luxembourgian descent.

Luxembourgian immigration to Brazil occurred mainly around 1828, when nearly 1,000 Luxembourgers settled there.[2]
