The Jatapu River is a major tributary of the Uatumã River. Situated within the Amazon River basin, it is located in the eastern portion of state of Amazonas in north-western Brazil.

Part of the river basin is protected by the 938,720 hectares (2,319,600 acres) Uatumã Biological Reserve, a strictly protected conservation unit created in 2002.[2]
