Acanthochelys macrocephala has a geographical distribution restricted to central South America. In Brazil, records are restricted to the Upper Paraguay river basin, throughout the Pantanal wetlands or nearby Chaco areas. These records were limited until now to four municipalities of Mato Grosso do Sul and two municipalities of Mato Grosso.
