Campos Elíseos is a neighborhood situated in the district of Santa Cecília, in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. Created in 1878, it is the city's first planned neighborhood. At the time, it consisted mainly of coffee farmers. It is home to the Campos Elíseos Palace, the former seat of the São Paulo State Government, which belonged to the aristocrat and politician Elias Antônio Pacheco e Chaves. After a fire, the seat of government was transferred to the Bandeirantes Palace in Morumbi.
