The Zoró (autonym: Pangyjej) are an indigenous people native to the states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia, Brazil. Their population was around 787 in 2020.
==Etymology== The name Zoró originates from the word monshoro (dry head), which is a derogatory term in the Surui language, whose speakers were neighboring enemies of the Zoró. The word monshoro was shortened to shoro and then, over time, to zoró.
