Boa Vista (meaning "Good View" in Portuguese) is a neighbourhood of the city of Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The first and oldest houses were constructed around the Japan Square (Praça do Japão in Portuguese), which is located in an upland area.

From the 1990s onwards, however, some of these residences became commercial establishments, such as stores, cafés, restaurants, and law firms.

In the neighbourhood there are two private schools, Monteiro Lobato and Província de São Pedro, founded in 1971 and 1979, respectively.

Near them is the only public school in Boa Vista, Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Bahia.
