"Ela é Carioca" ("She’s a Carioca") is a bossa nova song composed in 1963 by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with Portuguese lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes. English lyrics were written by Ray Gilbert. The song is sometimes titled "Ele é Carioca (He’s a Carioca)."

"Carioca" is a Brazilian term for someone from or something related to Rio de Janeiro.

John Bush at AllMusic calls the song "a cheerful sequel to 'The Girl From Ipanema,^[1]'" which was also written by Jobim and Moraes, and features lyrics about a young woman from Rio.

The song was used as the name of a 2005 documentary film about "Jobim's love for Rio de Janeiro and the influence it had on his music" - Tom Jobim: She’s a Carioca.^[2]

The first recording of the song was by Os Cariocas in 1963.^[3] Antônio Carlos Jobim recorded it for his 1965 album, The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim.
