Entropic dynamics is a framework in which quantum theory is derived as an application of entropic methods of inference. Entropic dynamics on flat spaces has been extensively studied. The objective of this paper is to extend the entropic dynamics of $N$ particles to curved spaces. The important new feature is that the displacement of a particle does not transform like a vector because fluctuations can be large enough to feel the effects of curvature. The final result is a modified Schr\"odinger equation in which the usual Laplacian is replaced by the Laplace-Beltrami operator.
