During the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Paralympics, athletes from each participating country paraded in the Maracanã Stadium, preceded by its flag and placard barrier.

Parade order
All nations paraded in an alphabetical order in Brazilian Portuguese, except the host country, Brazil, who entered last.
