The Napo moist forests (NT0174) is an ecoregion in the western Amazon rainforest of Peru.
In the extreme northwest the Napo moist forests transition into the Eastern Cordillera real montane forests. Across the Marañón River valley they transition into the Marañón dry forests, then along most of their western and southern boundary they transition into the Peruvian Yungas. To the east they are separated from the Southwest Amazon moist forests by a belt of Iquitos várzea along the Ucayali River, and to the north they are separated from the Napo moist forests by a belt of Iquitos varzea along the Marañón River.
The ecoregion is in the neotropical realm, in the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests biome.
The World Wildlife Fund gives the ecoregion the status of "Vulnerable".
