The Suzano massacre, also known as the Suzano school massacre, was a school shooting that took place on March 13, 2019, at the Professor Raul Brasil State School in the Brazilian municipality of Suzano, São Paulo, in which five students and two school staff members were killed. Before the attack, the perpetrators, 17-year-old Guilherme Taucci Monteiro and 25-year-old Luiz Henrique de Castro, killed Taucci's uncle. After killing most of their victims in the school, Taucci killed his partner and then committed suicide. Eleven additional people were injured by gunshots. Some were injured while trying to escape.

The attack was the second major and second deadliest school shooting in Brazil, after the Realengo massacre in 2011. It is also the ninth fatal school shooting in Brazilian history.

The shooting has inspired many copycat killings in and outside of Brazil.
