The Jaraucu River is a river of Pará state in north-central Brazil, a tributary of the Xingu River.
The river flows through the Tapajós-Xingu moist forests ecoregion.[1] The river runs through the 1,288,720 hectares (3,184,500 acres) Verde para Sempre Extractive Reserve, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2004, before discharging into the Xingu.[2]
