Marañón er ei 1 905 km lang elv i Peru, og ei av sideelvane til Amazonaselva.

Elva har utspring i 5 800 meters høgd nær Cordillera Huayhuash ca. 160 km nordaust for Lima, renn gjennom ein stor del av Andesfjella i det nordlege Peru og tar imot fleire sideelvar, m.a. Utcubamba. Når ho møter Ucayali skiftar dei namn til Amazonaselva. På vegen ned gjennom høgfjellet til flat regnskog går elva gjennom fleire djupe gjel.
