Muriqui (also known as Vila Muriqui) is a district[4] of the municipality of Mangaratiba, located within the Greater Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is part of the Green Coast. Highway BR-101 passes through the district.

The district has a patron saint, the Blessed Virgin Mary (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora das Graças).[5] Since the 1950s, the local parish has celebrated annually on the 27th of November, the date Catherine Labouré reportedly had a vision of her in 1830.[6]
