La réserve naturelle de Marapendi est une réserve naturelle située dans le quartier de Barra da Tijuca à Rio de Janeiro. À l'occasion des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2016 organisés dans la ville, les organisateurs font construire un parcours de golf olympique en rasant une partie de la forêt atlantique. Validée en 2012 par Eduardo Paes, le maire de Rio, la construction du parcours soulève de nombreuses protestations.
