The Republicans[6] (Portuguese: Republicanos), formerly the Brazilian Republican Party (Portuguese: Partido Republicano Brasileiro, PRB) and originally formed as the Municipalist Renewal Party (Portuguese: Partido Municipalista Renovador, PMR), is a Brazilian political party. Its electoral number, the numerical assignment for Brazilian political parties, is 10.

The party is socially conservative and economically liberal,[6][1] and also has a strong association with the evangelical Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.[7][1] As the PRB, it was the party of former Vice President of Brazil José Alencar, where it was part of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government.[8] While it also supported Dilma Rousseff until her impeachment,[9] it was one of the closest allies of the Bolsonaro government.[10]
