Manaus [mɐˈnau̯s], amtlich portugiesisch Município de Manaus, ist die Hauptstadt des brasilianischen Bundesstaates Amazonas. Sie liegt an der Mündung des Rio Negro in den Amazonas. In der Zeit zwischen 1870 und 1910 wurde die Stadt durch den Kautschukboom bekannt, da die Region lange Zeit der einzige Lieferant von Kautschuk war. Heute ist der Ort vor allem der historischen Bauwerke wegen sowie als touristischer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in den sehr artenreichen, die Stadt umgebenden Urwald bekannt. Manaus ist Sitz des römisch-katholischen Erzbistums Manaus.
