VH1 Brazil is a music channel from Viacom-owned MTV Networks Latin America. The network was launched in November 2005 on some cable systems, but it wasn't until May 2006 that it was launched on DirecTV Brazil, replacing MTV Latin America.

It targets 25–44-year-olds and plays local and international music videos from the 1970s to the 2000s. It also airs famous "Top 20" and "Top 40" contdowns from VH1 USA. At its launch, VH1's "celebreality" shows like The Surreal Life, Breaking Bonaduce, My Fair Brady, SuperGroup and So NoTORIous, aren't aired yet on VH1 Brazil, yet they air on its sister network, VH1 Latin America. However, since September 2006, the network has started running The Surreal Life.

Unlike MTV Brasil, and like its sister Nickelodeon, VH1 is wholly owned by MTV Networks Latin America, and available exclusively on cable and satellite systems.

VH1 Brazil replaced the VH1 Soul that was available in the country since 2004.

In 2007 VH1 Brazil released its broadband channel called VSPOT.
