Pomerode ({{IPA|pt|pomeˈɾode|lang}}){{Needs IPA|German|lang=de}} is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Santa Catarina, in Southern Brazil. It is located in the valley of the Itajaí-Açu river, not very far from the city of Blumenau, one of the largest cities in the state.

Pomerode is known as the most German city in Brazil, because the vast majority of its inhabitants are of German descent and are bilingual in German and Portuguese. The East Pomeranian dialect of Low German is also used by the community.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170921125651/https://leismunicipais.com.br/a/sc/p/pomerode/lei-ordinaria/2017/291/2907/lei-ordinaria-n-2907-2017-dispoe-sobre-a-co-oficializacao-da-lingua-pomerana-a-lingua-portuguesa-no-municipio-de-pomerode-sc Lei Nº 2.907, de 23 de maio de 2017] - Dispõe sobre a co-oficialização da língua pomerana à língua portuguesa no município de Pomerode.
