This species has great importance for Brazilian flora due to its ornamental and forest value, its fruits are a source of food for several wild animals. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the biometric characteristics of ripe fruits of Inga laurina (SW.) WILLD. For the evaluation, 30 fresh fruits were randomly harvested from the crown of 4 individuals belonging to the species Inga laurina located in the municipality of Alta Floresta. The following were evaluated: length, width, basal diameter, apical diameter, number of seeds, skin thickness and sugar content. The data obtained were submitted to the statistical program R, Scoot Knott at a level of 5% of probability significance. With the results we can conclude that for the species Inga laurina there was no statistical difference between the individuals for the characteristics of length and width of the fruit. Only individual 4 differed from the others in terms of basal and apical diameter. The number of seeds varied from 2 to 3 seeds per fruit. The sugar content did not differ much from one individual to another, with a maximum value of 14.9% for individual 3.
