Arachis pintoi, the Pinto peanut, is a forage plant native to Cerrado vegetation in Brazil.

It has been named after the Brazilian botanist Geraldo Pinto, who first collected the plant at the locality of Boca do Córrego, município de Belmonte (State of Bahia) in 1954 and suggested its potential as a forage.

This wild perennial relative of the groundnut or peanut, has been of increasing importance to pasture improvement in the tropics.

Its stoloniferous growth habit, subterranean seed production, high forage quality, and acceptability to grazing cattle are of particular value.

Pinto peanut is a stoloniferous perennial creeping legume that can reach 20-50 cm in height and form dense swards.
