List of Brazilian ambassadors to the United States

The Brazilian Embassy at 3006 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC (1971, architect Olav Redig de Campos)

With the agreement for José Silvestre Rebello on January 1, 1824, the Monroe government was the first to recognize the government of Peter I as independent from the government of John VI. on. In 1905 the legation was upgraded to an embassy. In 1934, McCormick House on Massachusetts Avenue was purchased as the embassy headquarters.
