We present details of five new field records of Odocoileus virginianus from the northern Brazilian Amazon, extending its known range from Suriname to the Brazilian state of Pará. We also document four sight records and four records based on specimens held in collections of white-tailed deer distribution from the states of Amapá and Roraima, reinforcing this inferred distribution. Confirmation of the occurrence of O. virginianus in the Brazilian Amazon is important for its conservation, since it is an important game species for traditional human populations and requires population-level management.
