Pocinhos is a municipality in the state of Paraíba, in the Northeast Region of Brazil. It is one of the many municipalities that make up this northeastern Brazilian state, which lies along the country's Atlantic coast and is bordered by Rio Grande do Norte to the north and Pernambuco to the south and west.
The Northeast Region is Brazil's third-largest region by area and its second-most populous, and Paraíba forms part of its eastern seaboard. Municipalities in Paraíba serve as the local level of government below the state, each with its own administrative seat.
Beyond its status as a municipality within Paraíba, few details about Pocinhos are firmly established in widely available reference sources. It should not be confused with other places bearing the same or similar names.
