The '''Ji-Paraná River''' (Machado River), sometimes spelled '''Jiparaná''', is a river in Rondônia state in western Brazil. It is a tributary of the Madeira River in the Amazon Basin. For much of its length it runs roughly parallel with the northeastern state border of Rondônia. The city of Ji-Paraná is divided by the river.
Part of the river's basin is covered by the {{convert|221218|ha}} Jacundá National Forest, a sustainable use conservation unit.<ref>{{citation|language=Portuguese |title=Unidade de Conservação: Floresta Nacional de Jacundá|publisher=MMA: Ministério do Meio Ambiente |url=http://sistemas.mma.gov.br/cnuc/index.php?ido=relatorioparametrizado.exibeRelatorio&relatorioPadrao=true&idUc=97|accessdate=2016-05-16}}</ref> Part of the basin is in the {{convert|346861|ha}} Jaru Biological Reserve, a fully protected conservation unit created in 1984.<ref>{{citation|language=Portuguese |title=Unidade de Conservação: Reserva Biológica do Jaru|publisher=MMA: Ministério do Meio Ambiente |url=http://sistemas.mma.gov.br/cnuc/index.php?ido=relatorioparametrizado.exibeRelatorio&relatorioPadrao=true&idUc=208|accessdate=2016-04-27}}</ref> The river forms the southern boundary in Rondônia of the Campos Amazônicos National Park, a {{convert|961318|ha}} protected area created in 2006 that holds an unusual enclave of cerrado vegetation in the Amazon rainforest.<ref>{{citation|ref={{harvid|Parna Campos Amazônicos Mapa Interativo – Chico Mendes}}|language=Portuguese|title=Parna Campos Amazônicos Mapa Interativo|publisher=Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation|url=http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/unidadesdeconservacao/biomas-brasileiros/amazonia/unidades-de-conservacao-amazonia/1970-parna-campos-amazonicos|accessdate=2016-06-03|archive-date=2016-08-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817051821/http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/unidadesdeconservacao/biomas-brasileiros/amazonia/unidades-de-conservacao-amazonia/1970-parna-campos-amazonicos|url-status=dead}}</ref>
