FecomercioSP is a Brazilian trade federation representing businesses in commerce, services, and tourism in São Paulo.

FecomercioSP traces its roots to mid-20th century initiatives associated with São Paulo municipal and state institutions such as Prefeitura de São Paulo, Câmara Municipal de São Paulo, Governo do Estado de São Paulo, Associação Comercial de São Paulo, and Confederação Nacional do Comércio (CNC). Early interactions linked FecomercioSP to national developments involving Getúlio Vargas, Conselho Nacional de Política Industrial, and postwar reconstruction debates echoing discussions in United Nations forums and among leaders like Juscelino Kubitschek and Getúlio Vargas (again). Throughout the late 20th century FecomercioSP engaged with policy changes during administrations such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and Michel Temer, responding to reforms influenced by institutions like the Banco Central do Brasil, Ministério da Fazenda (Brazil), and BNDES.
FecomercioSP's evolution paralleled developments in São Paulo's commercial landscape alongside institutions including FIESP, SESC, SENAC, Sindicato dos Comerciários, and municipal trade regulators. Its public initiatives interacted with legislative processes in the Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de São Paulo and national lawmaking in the Congresso Nacional do Brasil, addressing regulatory frameworks shaped by laws such as the Código de Defesa do Consumidor and fiscal measures debated in sessions involving parties like PSDB, PT, and MDB.

Executive management liaises with academic partners such as Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), and research centers modeled after IPEA and Fundação Instituto de Administração (FIA)].
