List of quilombola territories

The following is a list of quilombola territories as designated by the Palmares Cultural Foundation and awarded land title by the Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária through the provisions of the 1988 Constitution. In addition, this list may include territories which received title through state-level agricultural reform agencies. This is not to be confused with the larger list of quilombola communities throughout Brazil, most of which are designated by the Palmares Cultural Foundation but not awarded land title by INCRA or equivalent state agencies.

A quilombola territory is an area which is historically settled by a community of quilombola descended from a historic Quilombo, or settlement of escapees from plantation slavery in Brazil, and in which the quilombola community hold communal land title. Despite living in these areas for as long as hundreds of years, as well as the federal Constitution's recognition of the right of quilombolas to communal land title, much of the historic lands claimed by quilombolas are not recognized by various levels of government.

Therefore, it is not included in the land table as it is not owned of the quilombolas.
