Campo Belo is a station of São Paulo Metro. It opened on 8 April 2019.
It is operated by Motiva Linhas 5 e 17 and belongs to Line 5-Lilac, which connected with the metropolitan network of São Paulo in September 2018 with the opening of stations Chácara Klabin, which connects to Line 2-Green, and Santa Cruz, which connects to Line 1-Blue. It was the last station to be delivered in the expansion plan of the line. The station also has a connection with monorail Line 17-Gold.
According to the Metro original plans, the station should be named "Água Espraiada-Campo Belo", but, because of the change of name of Brooklin station of Line 5-Lilac, the station lost the sufix "Campo Belo". Later, it switched to Campo Belo, as both Brooklin and Campo Belo are located in the same borough.
On 26 March 2019, it was informed that the station opening could happen on 10 April.
On 5 April, it was confirmed the opening of the station to 8 April, two days before what was announced before. During the first 5 days, it worked in a reduced time, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on 13 April it began working in full time.
