The small red brocket (Mazama bororo) is a small species of brocket deer in the family Cervidae.{{MSW3 Artiodactyla | id = 14200244 | page = }} It is endemic to Atlantic Forest in Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo in southeastern Brazil. This species, which only was scientifically described in 1996, is threatened by habitat loss. Though its size and structure most resemble that of the pygmy brocket (M. nana), its coloration is very similar to that of the red brocket (M. americana).Vogliotti, A., and J. M. B. Duarte (2009).
