The Omagua people are an indigenous people in Brazil's Amazon Basin. Their territory, when first in contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century, was on the Amazon River upstream from the present-day city of Manaus extending into Peru.

Their population suffered steep decline, mostly from infectious diseases, in the early years of the Columbian Exchange.
