The savannas of the coastal region of the Amazon basin are located at the contact between the forest and the Atlantic coast. In these formations, the Poaceae are one of the most important plant groups. This work aimed to survey Family Poaceae in Amazonian coastal savannas. In addition, it was given illustrations and key for identification of taxon corroborated. A total of four subfamilies, 29 genera and 58 species were recorded. All specimens are deposited in the herbaria MG (Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi) and HAMAB (Instituto de Pesquisas Científicas e Tecnológicas do Estado do Amapá). The flora of Poaceae inventoried in the Amazonian costal savannas presents wide distribution species, low endemism and few exotic species, with a clear floristic influence of the Guaianas savannas and Brazilian Cerrado.
