The Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia is a twin-turboprop 30-passenger commuter airliner designed and manufactured by the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer.

Following the success of its 18-passenger Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante, the Brazilian plane maker wanted to build a larger twin-engine turboprop that it could market as a regional commuter aircraft. At the time of its introduction, in October 1985, there was not a similar aircraft that could match its performance. The Embraer EMB 120 size, speed (thanks to the , two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW118) and ceiling enabled faster and more direct services to be flown in comparison to similar aircraft.

Numerous models were developed to fulfil differing roles and requirements; these included the flexible EMB120 Convertible and the extended range EMB120ER that became the standard model. The production of the EMB 120 was terminated in 2001: it was the last turboprop-powered airliner to be produced by Embraer.  During its production run 357 aircraft were built.
