Águas Lindas de Goiás is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Goiás, which is located in the east of the state. It is part of the Luziânia-Águas Lindas de Goiás Intermediate Geographic Region and the Águas Lindas de Goiás Immediate Geographic Region.

The municipality obtained its political emancipation from Santo Antônio do Descoberto, by means of State Law No. 12,797 of 27 December 1995, sanctioned by the then governor Maguito Vilela. The process marked the transition of the locality from a district to an autonomous municipality. Although the law dates from 1995, the year 1997 is considered the official milestone of its foundation, the date on which the first municipal elections took place, electing Ordalino Garcia de Melo as its first mayor.

According to the 2022 IBGE census, its population is 225,693 inhabitants, which at the time of the count made it the fifth most populous municipality in Goiás. It is also the most populous city in eastern Goiás and in the Integrated Development Region of the Federal District and Surroundings (RIDE).

In 2026, the IBGE estimated a population of 249,978 inhabitants for the municipality, now in fourth place among the municipalities of Goiás. The total area is 191.817 square kilometres, and its population is almost entirely urban. It is part of the Integrated Development Region of the Federal District and Surroundings.

Over its history the city has received visits from two presidents: Fernando Henrique Cardoso was the first, and Jair Messias Bolsonaro was the second and last to have visited the region.
