Coffee King () was an informal title created in Brazil during the 19th century and used until the early 20th century. It was usually applied to the biggest coffee producer of a given period.GIOVANNETTI, L. G., O "rei do café," Geremia Lunardelli, 1951.

In spite of the lack of consensus around the exact number of Coffee Kings, there are sources pointing to at least five of them:MARTINS, Ana Luiza, História do Café, Editora Contexto, 2008, São Paulo – SP, Brasil.
