| Summary: | We present the first checklist of the Hesionidae family species along the Brazilian coast. The family includes approximately 196 nominal species belonging to 33 genera recorded worldwide. This taxonomic list includes synonymized taxa based on systematic revisions, type locality, Brazilian records, and GenBank accession number. We identified 17 species belonging to eight genera as valid occurrences. Hesionids are found along the entirety of the Brazilian coastline, except in the northern region of the country, in which their absence is likely attributed to limited studies in the area.
