"Bonde do Brunão" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, released on June 18, 2025 by The Smeezingtons under exclusive license to Atlantic Records. It was recorded in November 2024, and was written by Mars alongside Jeremy Reeves, Jonathan Yip and Ray Romulus. It was produced by the former and the latter three as the Stereotypes, who also did programming.

The track was intended solely to promote the Brazil portion of the Bruno Mars Live tour, however, after it became the most watched video on his Instagram profile with 134 million views, Mars decided to officially release it. "Bonde do Brunão" is a Brazilian funk song performed in Portuguese. Lyrically, the song addresses Mars's arrival in Brazil and thanks Brazilian fans. The song not only pays homage to Brazil, but also draws inspiration and parodies "Cerol na Mão" (2001) by Bonde do Tigrão.

The official music video, directed by Daniel Ramos and released alongside the song, includes visual elements of the Brazilian culture intercut with footage taken during Mars's tour in Brazil. Mars started to include verses of the song during his performance of "Perm" on his tour in Brazil. In promotion for "Bonde do Brunão", Mars appeared as a featured artist at Fortnite Festival for the ninth season. The song received praise from publications, alongside accusations of cultural appropriation.
