The Atlantic Forest (Portuguese: Mata Atlântica) — a terrestrial biome and geographic region in southeastern South America.

The diverse ecoregions of the Atlantic Forest extend along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Rio Grande do Norte state in the north; southwards through the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, to Rio Grande do Sul state; and inland as far as Paraguay, and the Misiones Province of Argentina.
