Heliópolis is a suburb in of São Paulo City, Brazil.

The suburb was once considered the largest favela of the city and to date has the appearance of a favela, but in the 1990s it was officially recognised as a neighbourhood of São Paulo. As such its streets are in the official map of the city and thus it is no longer a favela. Regardless, Heliópolis is in practice still home to many extremely poor people.
