"The Brazilian" is an instrumental piece by the English band Genesis that concludes their thirteenth studio album, Invisible Touch (1986). The song features experimental sounds and effects.[1]

The band wrote two instrumental pieces for the album, this and "Do the Neurotic". The latter was cut from the album's final track selection.

The tune was featured in the adult animated disaster film When the Wind Blows (1986), which was scored by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. It was also used in an episode of Magnum, P.I. called "Unfinished Business". The track was also used extensively by the BBC in their TV coverage of the 1987 World Athletics Championships. In 1987, the track received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance (Orchestra, Group or Soloist).

The song was also featured in the 2020 Hulu film, Palm Springs, during Sarah's quantum physics montage.
