The Banawá (also Banawa, Banavá, Jafí, Kitiya, Banauá) are an indigenous group living along the Banawá River in the Amazonas State, Brazil.

[1] Approximately 158 Banawá people live in one major village and two smaller settlements containing a single extended family each.

Their territory was invaded at the end of the 19th century, during the rubber boom.

In the 1990s, Brazil formally recognized their land rights.
