Companhia de Navegação Lloyd Brasileiro (English: Navigation Company Lloyd Brasileiro), usually just called Lloyd Brasileiro, Lóide or Lloydbrás, was a Brazilian shipping company founded on 19 February 1894. It became the only major shipping company in South America, in particular by taking over German ships confiscated in 1917 by Brazil's entry into the First World War. In 1931, Lloyd Brasileiro was among the 50 largest shipping companies in the world, owning 73 ships of 271,000 GRT combined.
The company was dissolved in October 1997 during the government of president Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
