Espumas Flutuantes (English: Floating Foam) is a 1870 poetry book by Brazilian Romantic poet Castro Alves. It would be the only work Alves would publish during his lifetime, because of his premature death from tuberculosis one year later. It is one of his most famous poetry books; the other one is Os Escravos, published in 1883. Espumas Flutuantes was dedicated to Castro Alves' family, as seen in the book's "Dedicatory".
It has 53 poems, whose themes are mostly unrequited love and odes, such as "Ode ao dous de julho" and "O livro e a América".
