Aparecida de Goiânia (Portuguese pronunciation: [apaɾeˈsidɐ dʒi ɡoˈjɐ̃niɐ]) is a city and municipality in central Goiás, Brazil.

In 1922 followers of Our Lady of Aparecida donated land so that their neighbors could build a church for the Virgin.

In 1958 it was elevated to the condition of Vila, as a district of Goiânia with the name Aparecida de Goiás.

In 1958 the name was changed to Goialândia, which remained until 1963, when it emancipated itself and assumed the name of Aparecida de Goiânia.

The industrial centers in the city are Distrito Agroindustrial de Aparecida de Goiânia (Daiag), Distrito Industrial (Dimag), Pólo Empresarial Goiás and Cidade Empresarial.
