Armenian Brazilians (Armenian: Բրազիլահայեր, romanizedBrazilahayer; Portuguese: armeno-brasileiro, armênio-brasileiro) are citizens or residents of Brazil who have total or partial Armenian ancestry. It is estimated that approximately 40,000 Armenians and their descendants reside in Brazil, with the majority concentrated in the state of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Armenian immigrants in Brazil gathered mostly in and around the city of São Paulo, where there are churches, cultural centers, and even a metro station called Armênia, named after the country.
