Sebrae (Portuguese: Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas, "Support Service for Micro and Small Enterprises"), is a Brazilian autonomous social institution part of the Sistema S whose aim is to foster the development of micro and small enterprises, stimulating entrepreneurship in the country .

Founded in 1972 with the name of Cebrae (Centro Brasileiro de Apoio à Pequena e Média Empresa),1 it was an entity associated with the Brazilian federal government. In October 1990, it was renamed Sebrae (Serviço Brasileiro de apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas), detaching itself from public administration and becoming an autonomous, non-profit social service.

Sebrae's chairman is, as of 2023, Décio Lima.2 The president of its National Deliberative Council is José Zeferino Pedrozo.
