The Governorate of Bracamoros (Spanish: Gobierno de Bracamoros / Tenencia de Bracamoros) was a governorate (gobernación) of the Spanish Empire established during the 16th century in an area of the Amazon rainforest originally populated by the now extinct Bracamoros people.

The area was originally established as two governorates, including the Governorate of Yahuarzongos (Spanish: Gobernación de Yahuarzongos), although it was eventually merged into a single entity. The governorate was occupied by the Liberating Expedition of Peru during the Peruvian War of Independence, later being one of the areas subject to a long-lasting territorial dispute between Ecuador and Peru.
