Anápolis is a Brazilian municipality located in the central region of the state of Goiás. Situated on the Brazilian Central Plateau, at an altitude of 1,017 meters, it has a tropical climate with a dry season, though milder than that of the state capital, Goiânia. The city is about 50 km from the state capital of Goiás and 140 km from the federal capital, forming part of an economic and population axis that constitutes the largest urban concentration in the Center-West Region and its main industrial hub.

According to estimates by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for 2026, its population is 424,647 inhabitants. Thus, Anápolis is the third largest municipality in the state by population and its fourth largest economic force, with a GDP of more than 20 billion reais in 2023.

The history of Anápolis begins as early as the 19th century, with the formation of the parish and later of the Vila de Sant'Anna das Antas. Emancipated in 1887 and elevated to city status in 1907, Anápolis established itself as an industrial hub, notably in the pharmaceutical sector, after the installation of the Agro-industrial District in 1976. The city is crossed by the federal highways BR-153, BR-060 and BR-414, the state highways GO-222, GO-330, GO-437 and GO-560, and the Centro-Atlântica Railway, and is the starting point of the North–South Railway.
