The Amazing Race: A Corrida Milionária (English: The Millionaire Race) was a Brazilian version of the popular franchised reality television show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Rony Curvelo, it was independently produced and aired in a purchased time slot in the Brazilian television network RedeTV!. The show premiered on 13 October 2007 and ended on 5 January 2008.

Friends Patricia & Sane were the winners of the race.

The Amazing Race: A Corrida Milionária covered 15,000 km in 33 days. The race was held most of the time in Brazil while it traveled outside to Chile for final two legs, becoming the fewest countries to be visited in the Amazing Race franchise until The Amazing Race: China Rush.

The series adopted the rules from the American version's tenth and eleventh seasons. With the exception of the Intersection, all clue types were retained in the Brazilian version, as well as the non-elimination penalty. This race also differed from the original format in that while teams leave the pit stops in the same order they arrived, the time differences were not always respected. The penalty for not completing a Roadblock is also shorter. Route markers are colored yellow and green, reflecting the Brazilian national colours, as opposed to yellow and red in most other versions. Also, contrary to other Amazing Race versions, the eliminated teams did not make an appearance at the finish line. Additionally, this is the first route whereby the race did not end in the same country as it started.

Notably, in Leg 6, while driving to the pit stop, Andréa & Luciana were held up at gunpoint by three men at a stoplight in Fortaleza. The team did not lose anything, but the criminals took the camera and all personal documents from the crew, and ran off as gunshots were fired by the police. Two of the men were later caught and identified, and the camera was recovered. This incident dropped the team from 4th to last place, and no time credit was given for the situation. Part of the robbery was filmed and shown in the sixth episode. In Leg 13, Perri & Maristela became the first team to quit the race in a final leg, after refusing to perform the first task.
