Luxembourgish Brazilians refers to Brazilian citizens of full, partial, or predominantly Luxembourgish ancestry, or Luxembourg-born immigrants in Brazil.[citation needed]

Luxembourgish immigration to Brazil occurred mainly around 1828, when nearly 1,000 Luxembourgers settled there.[4] Many were in Curitiba.[citation needed]
