Rio de Janeiro was a large city in the nation-state of Brazil on Earth.

Jadzia Dax was often taken to the city by Setheleyis th'Rasdeth. This led to her developing a great love for the city. Ezri Dax later suggested it as a place for Miles O'Brien and his family to live, citing Jadzia's fondness for it. (DS9 short story: "The Devil You Know"; DS9 novelization: What You Leave Behind)

In the Mirror Universe, Rio de Janeiro was one of the cities devastated in a brazen attack by alien rebels against the Terran Empire in 2155. Empress Sato I visited Rio de Janiero following the attacks, where she was surprised to find the citizens' anger directed at her. (ENT - Glass Empires novel: Age of the Empress)

Federation starships called USS Rio de Janeiro were named as such for this location.
