# List of Brazilian Nobel laureates and nominees

Since 1901, the Nobel Prize and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel have been awarded to a total of 965 individuals and 27 organizations as of 2023.
While numerous notable Brazilians have been nominated for the prize, to date, no individual has received a Nobel Prize while concurrently being a Brazilian citizen. One Nobel Prize recipient, the biologist Peter Medawar (who won the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Australian virologist Frank Macfarlane Burnet), was born a Brazilian citizen but renounced his Brazilian citizenship at the age of 18, long before receiving the prize.
Additionally, a number of Brazilians and Brazilian-based organizations were members of organizations at the time those organizations won a Nobel Prize, such as Sérgio Trindade and Carlos Nobre, members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) when it was awarded the prize in 2007.

## Laureates
