The Acurauá River (Portuguese: Rio Acurauá is a river of Acre and Amazonas states in western Brazil. It is a tributary of the Tarauacá River.
The river rises in the west of the state of Acre and runs in a northeast direction. After being crossed by the BR-364 highway it forms the eastern boundary of the 216,062 hectares (533,900 acres) Rio Gregório State Forest, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2004. It then crosses into Amazonas state, where it joins the Tarauacá.
