The São Paulo Macrometropolis () or São Paulo Megalopolis (), also known as Expanded Metropolitan Complex (), is a Brazilian megalopolis that emerged through the existing process of conurbation between the metropolitan areas located around the Greater São Paulo, with more than 30 million inhabitants, or 74 percent of São Paulo State's population, and is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.

Beyond the Greater São Paulo, the megalopolis encompasses the metropolitan areas of Campinas, Baixada Santista, Sorocaba, Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte, and . The total population of these areas added to the state capital exceeds 31.5 million inhabitants, or about 75% of the population of the entire state of São Paulo.
