Eunápolis is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of the state of Bahia, in the Northeast Region of the country. It is located in the far south of Bahia, about 640 km southwest of the state capital. It covers a total area of approximately 1,425.979 km², of which 25.67 km² is urban area, and its population was estimated at 121,577 inhabitants in 2026.

It borders the municipalities of Itabela, Itagimirim, Itapebi and Guaratinga. People born in this municipality are called eunapolitanas. Before its emancipation, Eunápolis was a rapidly growing village belonging to the municipalities of Porto Seguro and Santa Cruz Cabrália. On 12 May 1988, through State Law 4770/1988, the Legislative Assembly of Bahia approved a bill proposing the creation of the new municipality. In this way, Eunápolis ceased to be a village and became a town.

The name of the municipality of Eunápolis honours the engineer and politician Eunápio Peltier de Queiróz (1904–1998), who worked on the expropriation of land around the village that was emerging with the opening of roads and which now forms part of the urban centre. Before receiving the name “Eunápolis”, the place was known as Ibiapina, Nova Floresta and Quilômetro 64.
