Rock nacional feminino is a Brazilian umbrella label for female-led and women-centered strands of the country’s mainstream and alternative rock ("rock nacional"). It highlights bands with women as lead vocalists or principal songwriters, as well as all-female ensembles, across styles ranging from post-punk and new wave to pop rock, indie, hard rock, and punk. Rather than a single sonic formula, the tag marks a lineage of visibility and authorship: women shaping the Brazilian rock canon, bringing distinctly Brazilian melodic sensibilities (often drawn from MPB) into rock frameworks, and addressing themes of autonomy, intimacy, social critique, and everyday life in Portuguese.
