The Rodovia Fernão Dias (official designation BR-381 or SP-010 in the state of São Paulo) is a federal highway which runs in the Brazilian states of São Paulo and southern region of Minas Gerais. In Atibaia, the Fernão Dias highway intersects the Dom Pedro I highway, which runs from Campinas to Jacareí.

The highway is thus named in honour of Fernão Dias Paes Leme, a Brazilian explorer and "bandeirante" of the 17th century. It is 562.1 km long. It was fully duplicated in 2002.[1]
