Naviraí is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Its population was 55,689 (2020) and its area is 3,194 km2.

Founded in 1952 and emancipated in 1963, Naviraí until the 1950s was just a field uninhabited. It was then that began to arrive by plane and by boat and the first settlers in 1955 with the construction of the road linking the Golden Ashland, began to develop more speed. Known as the Capital of Southern Cone, Naviraí has traced urban plan with pathways that convert the center to the periphery, with a format of cobweb.
