Scandinavian Brazilian (Portuguese: escandinavo-brasileiro) is a Brazilian person of full or partial Scandinavian ancestry, or a Scandinavian-born person residing in Brazil.
The Scandinavian settlement in Brazil began in the mid to late 19th century and was predominant then: when Scandinavians people arrived in Brazil. Many Scandinavians came to Brazil for economic reasons and to start a new life.
In recent years, many Norwegians and Swedes have migrated to the littoral zone of the State of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará, attracted by the beaches and the tropical climate.
