Technically yes because they are in Latin America and they speak a latin language which is portuguese.
Answer:
Yes and No. Because in the United States, Latino is equal to Hispanic, which means Spanish speakers. Brazilians do not speak spanish. They speak Portuguese making them Lusophone, not Hispanic.
So I don't call myself Latino. I call myself Latin, just like the french, Italian, spanish and portuguese.

Yes, Brazilians are considered Latinos. People from Brazil and of Brazilian descent fit into the category of populations with cultural ties to Caribbean, Central, Mexican and Southern Latin America. The word Latinos serves to identify bearers of Latin-influenced cultures and speakers of such Romance family languages as Catalan, French, Galician, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish.
Strangely enough, Brazilians live in the country of Brazil. it says it in the name...
The original latinos are probably the ancient Romans who spoke the Latin language from which all latin based languages and cultures are derived today.
Most Brazilians are descendants of the country's indigenous peoples, Portuguese (and other Europeans) settlers, and sub-Saharan Africans brought to the region as slaves.
Generally speaking Latinos are people whose native language is one of the languages derived from Latin. This would include Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese Romanian, and a number of others. The term was invented in the Napoleonic era by the French as a claim of relationship to the Mexicans to justify the French military activity there that established a member of the Hapsburg family as the Emperor of Mexico. More common modern usage considered that Latinos are people who originate from a Latin American country. Latinos are not to get confused with Hispanics. Hispanics are people who speak Spanish. Latinos are Latin Americans.
