Palotina is a Brazilian municipality in western Paraná state, located around 60 kilometers from the border with Paraguay.
The population is 32,121 inhabitants, as of the 2020 estimate. Owing to highly fertile land, the city is a flourishing agricultural hub and a base for two major agricultural companies: C. Vale and I. Rieddi. Another highlight of Palotina is the campus of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). There is also one private university, the UESPAR (União de Ensino Superior do Paraná).
The municipality contains the 385 ha São Camilo State Park, a conservation unit originally created as a biological reserve in 1990.
