Afro-Brazilian is the term used to racially categorise Brazilian citizens who are black or part-black.

Brazil has the largest population of black origin outside of Africa[2] with 6.9% classyfing themselves as black (negro) and 42.6% as brown (pardo), a broad classification that encompasses Brazilians of mixed race ancestry, mulattos, and assimilated indigenous people ("caboclos"),[1] making the total of 49.5%.

The vast majority of Brazilians have some African ancestry (86%, according to a genetic study). However, because the intensive mixing with Europeans and Native Indians, Brazilians with African ancestors may or may not show any trace of black physiognomy.[3]
