Cambirela Hill (Portuguese: Morro do Cambirela) is a mountain located in the same name massif, in the municipality of Palhoça, in the state of Santa Catarina. Its altitude is 1052 meters, which makes it the highest point in the municipality and the region, rising practically from sea level to a height of over a kilometer. It is located in the Serra do Tabuleiro State Park and dominates the entire Baía Sul.

It is thought to have been a volcano 590 million years ago. Cambirela Hill is popular with hikers who want to climb to the top. It is also known for the plane crash of 1949 and the snow of 2013, which accumulated at the top of the hill and was a climatic milestone in the Greater Florianópolis region. Its size and importance have led it to be depicted by artists such as Debret and Victor Meirelles and to lend its name to a wide variety of uses in Greater Florianópolis.
