The Araucaria moist forests, officially classified as mixed ombrophilous forest (Portuguese: "Floresta Ombrófila Mista") in Brazil, are a montane subtropical moist forest ecoregion.

The ecoregion also includes select areas of open field called "campos de cima da serra" or "coxilhas" (highland fields).
