List of governors-general of Brazil
This is a list of governors-general of Colonial Brazil (Portuguese: governadores-gerais). The office was created by D. João III in 1549. From 1640 onward, some governors-general held the title of viceroy (Portuguese: vice-rei). The office was the same, only the title was different in order to correspond to the dignity of the individual appointed to the office. From 1720, however, until the arrival of D. João VI, king of Portugal, in Rio de Janeiro, in 1808, all governors-general were viceroys.
