The ambassador of Spain to Brazil is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Federative Republic of Brazil.
Spain recognized Brazil's independence in 1834 and immediately opened a legation in Rio de Janeiro, which for a long time coordinated diplomatic relations for the entire region. In 1933, during the Second Spanish Republic, foreign minister Claudio Sánchez-Albornoz elevated the rank of the Spanish diplomatic mission in Rio to embassy.
List of ambassadors to Brazil This list was compiled using the work "History of the Spanish Diplomacy" by the Spanish historian and diplomat Miguel Ángel Ochoa Brun. The work covers up to the year 2000, so the rest is based on appointments published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado.
