Higienópolis-Mackenzie is a station on Line 4 (Yellow) of the São Paulo Metro. In the future, it will link with the Line 6 (Orange).

The start of its operations was scheduled to end of 2017, but in the same year, the government of São Paulo delayed the opening to January 2018. The State Secretary of Metropolitan Transports stated that there were missing glasses and linings in the ceiling, what cause in a fine to the responsible company of R$ 17 million (approximately US$ 5,321 million).[1] On 19 January 2018, it was scheduled the station opening to 23 January 2018.[2] It was opened in 23 January 2018, working from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., out of the commercial time of other stations (from 4:40 a.m. to midnight).[3]
