Praça da Liberdade, Central square in Liberdade district, São Paulo, Brazil

Praça da Liberdade is a paved square in the Liberdade district of São Paulo, with a dark asphalt or stone surface opening into a broad pedestrian area. Red metal poles on the left hold traffic lights, lamps, and banner-like signs, including a vertical sign repeating "KASA" and a red pillar with "0.7" and "PASSAGEM". Low white buildings with storefronts and glass entrance doors surround the square, with banners such as "CIB" above them.

The square was formerly Largo da Forca, not Campo da Forca. On 20 September 1821 soldier Francisco José das Chagas, called Chaguinhas, was hanged there for demanding overdue pay; the rope broke twice and he was then beaten to death. A cross, Santa Cruz dos Enforcados, was set up and later replaced by the Capela de Santa Cruz das Almas dos Enforcados. In 1831 the Chafariz do Curso Jurídico was renamed Fonte da Liberdade, a name later given to the whole district. It was renamed Praça da Liberdade-Japão in 2018 and Liberdade África-Japão in 2023.

The square hosts weekly markets where vendors sell crafts, traditional foods, and items from multiple Asian cultures. These gatherings show how different communities have shaped the neighborhood's character over time.

The square is easily accessible via the Liberdade metro station on the Blue Line, which sits directly beneath the area. Markets operate every Saturday and Sunday, making weekends the best time to visit for shopping and exploring.

The square was renamed "Praça da Liberdade-Japão" on 18 July 2018, then "Liberdade África-Japão" by Law 17,954, sanctioned by mayor Ricardo Nunes on 31 May 2023, to honour the African and Japanese cultures of the area. The name Liberdade itself came from the Fonte da Liberdade, as the Chafariz do Curso Jurídico was called after Pedro I abdicated in 1831.
