The Red-browed Amazon (Amazona rhodocorytha) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is endemic to Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. It has been considered a subspecies of the Blue-cheeked Amazon, but today all major authorities consider them separate species.
It is threatened by habitat loss and capture for the wild parrot trade.
