Colatina is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Espírito Santo, in the Southeast Region of the country. It is located in the northwest of the state, about 130 km from the state capital. It covers an area of approximately 1,400 km², of which 21 km² is urban area. Its population was estimated at 129,301 inhabitants in 2025, making it the ninth most populous municipality in Espírito Santo and the fourth most populous outside the Greater Vitória Metropolitan Region. It also has an HDI of 0.746, the fifth highest in the state. Also called the “Little Princess of the North”, the city lies on the banks of the Rio Doce and is one of the main municipalities in the interior of Espírito Santo.

The city began to settle on the right bank of the Rio Doce at the end of the 19th century, and settlement intensified throughout the 20th century thanks to the boom in coffee cultivation in the municipality, linked to the construction of the Vitória a Minas Railway. Emancipated in 1921, Colatina became one of Brazil's largest coffee producers between the 1940s and 1950s. However, the economy diversified in the following decades, with the development of industry, commerce and services. It thus consolidated itself as an attractive local hub covering the north of Espírito Santo and part of eastern Minas Gerais.
