The '''Juruá River''' ({{langx|pt|Rio Juruá|links=no}} {{IPA|pt|ʒuɾuˈa|}}; {{langx|es|Río Yuruá|links=no}}) is a southern [[tributary|affluent]] [[river]] of the [[Amazon River]] west of the [[Purus River]]. The Juruá emerges from [[highlands]] in east-central [[Peru]], then winds its way through lowlands in [[Brazil]], sharing with this the bottom of the immense inland Amazon depression; and having all the characteristics of the Purus as regards curvature, sluggishness and general features of the low, half-flooded [[forest]] country it traverses. 

For most of its length, the river flows through the [[Purus várzea]] ecoregion.<ref>{{citation|ref={{harvid|Purus varzea – Myers}}|title=Purus varzea|publisher=Myers Enterprises II|work=Global Species|url=http://www.globalspecies.org/ecoregions/display/NT0156|access-date=2017-03-15|archive-date=2019-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190422000720/https://globalspecies.org/ecoregions/display/NT0156|url-status=dead}}</ref>
This is surrounded by the [[Juruá-Purus moist forests]] ecoregion.<ref>{{citation |title=South America: Amazon Basin, northwestern Brazil (NT0133)

The Juruá rises among the [[Ucayali]] highlands, and is navigable and unobstructed for a distance of {{cvt|1,133|km|mi|abbr=on}} above its junction with the Amazon. It has a total length of approximately {{cvt|3,283|km|mi|abbr=on}}, and is one of the longest tributaries of the Amazon.

The {{convert|251577|ha}} [[Médio Juruá Extractive Reserve]], created in 1997, is on the left bank of the river as it meanders in a generally northeast direction through the municipality of [[Carauari]].<ref>{{citation|ref={{harvid|RESEX do Médio Juruá – ISA}}|language=pt
