Perdizes (pron. IPA: [peɾ'dzizis], Portuguese for "Partridges") is a district in the borough of Lapa, in São Paulo, Brazil.

Built in an ancient area of Pacaembu Farm, during many years Perdizes was considered only a poor suburb in the rural zone. Nowadays, it's one of the most urbanized areas of São Paulo and known for being the home for the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, one of the largest universities in Latin America.
