The Vocabulário na Língua Brasílica (Brazilian Language Vocabulary, VLB) is an anonymous Portuguese–Old Tupi dictionary written in 1622, in Piratininga, Brazil. The 1953 edition is a facsimile compilation of all the manuscripts known to be part of it.

Despite numerous atempts, its exact authorship is unknown to this day, with theories linking it to the jesuits Joseph of Anchieta and Leonardo do Vale.
