Jaraguá District, Administrative district in northwestern São Paulo, Brazil.

The district spans 27.6 square kilometers and connects to neighboring municipalities through an extensive network of roads and railway infrastructure.

The region transformed from rural settlements into an urbanized area after its official establishment as a district in 1948, following the division of Perus and Pirituba territories.

The district maintains strong ties to indigenous heritage through its name, derived from Ancient Tupian language, meaning Grotto of the Lord or Lord of the Valley.

The Jaraguá railway station, operational since 1891, serves as a primary transportation hub connecting residents to different parts of São Paulo metropolitan region.

The district contains multiple conservation areas within the Green Belt of São Paulo, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve.
