We present the first records of Sturnus vulgaris in Brazil. Here we report the occurrence of the species at three localities of Rio Grande do Sul state. We photographed and recorded five juvenile specimens feeding in grasslands at the municipality of Santa Vitoria do Palmar, 30 specimens at the municipality of Chui and a single adult in breeding plumage at the municipality of Lavras do Sul. Our most recent record reveals the probable establishment of this species in the country.
