The Brazilian International Championships was a tennis tournament held in Brazil sporadically from 1932 to 1969.

The tournament began in 1932 and was part of a South American circuit that included the Argentina International Championships and Chile International Championships. The event petered out in the late 1950s.

Among the winners of the event were Manuel Alonso Areizaga, Don McNeill, Budge Patty, Fausto Gardini, Luis Ayala and Jan Kodeš.

Later in the open era a new successor women's tournament was revived called the WTA Brasil Open, and in 2001 the successor men's event was re-established called the ATP Brasil Open.
