Pantanal is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo. It premiered on 28 March 2022, and ended on 7 October 2022.

The telenovela is written by Bruno Luperi and is based on the 1990 telenovela of the same name, created by Benedito Ruy Barbosa. It stars Marcos Palmeira, Dira Paes, Jesuíta Barbosa, Irandhir Santos, and Alanis Guillen.

The telenovela storyline addresses contemporary life at the world's largest tropical wetland area, the Pantanal, and the cattle-ranching activity in the region. Filmed in location shortly after the worst forest fire in the Pantanal history, the show also tackles the climate change and the fight against deforestation between locals and natives.

In 2023, the show was nominated for the International Emmy Award for Best Telenovela.
