The Proclamation of the Republic (Portuguese: Proclamação da República), Coup of 1889 (Golpe de 1889), or Coup of the Republic (Golpe da República) was a military coup d'état that established the First Brazilian Republic on November 15, 1889. It took over the constitutional monarchy of the Empire of Brazil and ended the reign of Emperor Pedro II.

The coup took place in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of the Empire at the time, when a group of military officers of the Imperial Army, led by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, staged a coup d'état without the use of violence, deposing Emperor Pedro II and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Empire, the Viscount of Ouro Preto.

A provisional government was established that same day, 15th of November, with Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca as President of the Republic and head of the interim Government.
