• Source: List of Indigenous territories (Brazil)

There are 724 Indigenous territories (Portuguese: Terra Indígena [ˈtɛʁɐ ĩˈdʒiʒẽnɐ], TI) in Brazil, comprising about 13% of the country's land area. According to Article 231 of the Brazilian Constitution, the Indigenous peoples of Brazil possess an inalienable right to lands they "traditionally occupy" and are automatically conferred permanent possession of these lands. In practice, Indigenous territories must be formally demarcated to gain full legal protection, which is a multi-stage process overseen by the Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (FUNAI) and the Ministry of Justice and often involves protracted legal battles.
As of 2020, there were 487 fully demarcated and approved Indigenous territories, covering a total area of more than 100 million hectares. A further 120 territories, comprising around a million hectares, were in the process of being demarcated. For historical reasons—Portuguese colonisation started from the coast—most Indigenous territories are concentrated in the country's interior, particularly in Amazônia. There are only three federated units without any TIs: the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí, and the Federal District.
The following tables list proposed and approved Indigenous territories by state, along with their status in the demarcation process, land area, and approximate population. Most territories are inhabited by a single people and are named after that people and/or a local geographic feature. For example, the Guarani do Bracuí Indigenous Territory is demarcated for the Guarani people that live in the region of the Bracuí River in Rio de Janeiro. Other territories are inhabited by multiple Indigenous peoples.
