The Rodovia Fernão Dias (official designation BR-381) is a federal highway which runs in the Brazilian states of São Paulo and southern region of Minas Gerais. Major cities connected by the BR-381 are São Paulo, Mairiporã, Atibaia, Pouso Alegre, Lavras, Varginha, Oliveira, Betim and Belo Horizonte. In Atibaia, the Fernão Dias highway crosses with the Dom Pedro I highway, which runs from Campinas to Jacarei.

The highway is thus named in honour of Fernão Dias Paes Leme, a Brazilian explorer and "bandeirante" of the 17th century. It is 1,029 km long.
