There is still a discrepancy between neonatal mortality among Brazilian States, which is a liability of the inherent and structured social inequality in society, which are historical and very expressive, which reflects on the health of the population. Given this, this study sought to analyze the temporal trend of neonatal mortality in the State of Pará, from 2010 to 2019. This is an ecological study, with a quantitative character and a time series. Data were obtained from the Mortality Information System and the Live Birth Information System. To assess the temporal trend of the mortality series, the year sampled (2010 to 2019) was defined as an independent variable, and as dependent variables the region of health, sex and age of the child, weight of the child at birth, skin color/ race and age of the mother, duration of pregnancy, type of pregnancy and type of delivery. The survey identified a total of 22,560 neonatal deaths (ND) in the population in the State of Pará from 2010 to 2019. The average rate of ND was 22.6 per 1000 live births (LB), with an average annual variation (β) indicating a decrease of -47.7575 (r = 0.9504; R² = 0.9034; p-value = <0.001). The highest risks of death for newborns in the State of Pará correspond to factors such as birth weight up to 500 g, mother's age group above 30 years and gestation duration between 22 and 37 weeks.
