The Laranjeiras River (Portuguese: Rio Laranjeiras) is a river of Santa Catarina state in southeastern Brazil. It is a left tributary of the Hipólito River, which in turn is a right tributary of the Braço do Norte River.

The river rises in the São Joaquim National Park. The upper reaches of the Laranjeiras River are fed by streams from the 1,330 hectares (3,300 acres) Serra Furada State Park, created in 1980.[1]
