Hoplias brasiliensis is a species of trahiras. It is a benthopelagic, tropical freshwater fish which is known from coastal rivers in northeastern Brazil, including the Paraguaçu River in Bahia, the Pardo River, the Jequitinhonha River in Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, and the Contas River. Male H. brasiliensis can reach a maximum length of 20.3 centimetres (8.0 in).
It was originally described as Erythrinus brasiliensis by J.B. Spix and L. Agassiz in 1829. It was listed as a valid species of Hoplias by O.T. Oyakawa in 2003.
