Alagoinhas is a city in the Brazilian state of Bahia, in the northeast of Brazil. It was founded in 1852, and in 1974 it became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alagoinhas, which gives it a role as a regional religious centre as well as a local population centre. The 2022 census of the Brazilian statistics institute counted 151,055 residents in the municipality, up from 141,463 in 2010 and 130,095 in 2000, and about 129,916 of them lived in the continuous urban area of the town itself. That makes it one of the larger municipalities of the interior of Bahia and a steadily growing one.
