The Guamá River is a river of Pará state in north-central Brazil. At its mouth it forms the southern border of the state capital, Belém.

The Gurupí, Capim and Guamá rivers flow into the mouth of the Amazon and are affected by the daily tides, which force water from the Amazon upstream. They are in the Tocantins-Araguaia-Maranhão moist forests ecoregion.[1]
