We define Brauer characters for Brauer algebras which share many of the features of Brauer characters defined for finite groups. Since notions such as conjugacy classes and orders of elements are not a priori meaningful for Brauer algebras, we show which structure replaces the conjugacy classes and determine eigenvalues associated to these.
