Saramacca is a district of Suriname, in the north. Saramacca's capital city is Groningen.


Saramacca has a population of 13,600 and an area of 3,636 km².


The district has traditionally been the site of dozens of small, family owned farming communities, and it has only been recently that large agricultural projects have begun to emerge, primarily geared to the production of bananas and rice.


Saramacca district is named for the Saramacca Amerindians.


The district is known for its birds, with ornithologists and birdwatchers coming from all over the world to study and admire Saramacca's toucans, parrots and cocks-of-the-rock.


Saramacca, usually spelled saramaka is also the name of a group of Maroons who established communities along the saramacca river during the XVIII century and are now present in Suriname and in French Guiana, and of their language which is a creole language with a dominantly English origin.
