The Sapucaí River is a river of São Paulo state in southeastern Brazil. It is a tributary of the Rio Grande.

Course

The river forms to the north of Santo Antônio da Alegria, just north of the BR-265 highway near the border with Minas Gerais, where the Ribeirão do Pinheirinho meets the Ribeirão Tomba-perna. It then flows in a generally northwest direction. The river is dammed twice near São Joaquim da Barra. It continues northwest and enters the Rio Grande upstream from Colômbia, São Paulo.
