Rodrigo da Silva Bacellar (born 5 April 1980) is a Brazilian politician. He has been a member of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro since 2019, and has served as president of the assembly since 2023. From 2021 to 2022, he served as secretary of government of Rio de Janeiro.
On December 3, 2025, Rodrigo Bacellar was arrested by the Brazilian Federal Police during Operation Unha e Carne, suspected of leaking confidential information about another police operation that led to the arrest of then-state deputy TH Joias, associated with the Comando Vermelho.
The Federal Police indicated that Bacellar had instructed TH Joias to destroy evidence. Five days later, the ALERJ (State Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro) revoked his arrest by a vote of 42 to 21.
