Street Voluntarios da Patria (Volunteers of the Fatherland) is a public road in the historic center of the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

There are many shops on this street, most of which sell clothes.
The name Voluntários da Pátria was a tribute to the volunteers who fought in the Paraguayan War, which started in 1865 with the invasion of São Borja and Uruguaiana by the forces of Francisco Solano López. Along with the gauchos of the 39th Battalion, an imperial pennant accompanied them, and today it is kept as a relic in the Igreja da Matriz, along with the national flag of the Empire.
