São Jorge (Portuguese: Saint George) is a civil parish in the municipality of Santana, in the island of Madeira.

[2] São Jorge was created in 1515, and benefitted from the patronage of King Manuel I of Portugal when it was merely a religious parish.

These revelations were documented in the archives of the Torre do Tombo, and also included many of the pieces and religious artefacts donated by the King to the first Church of São Jorge.

The area is divided into "neighborhoods", forested and coastal spaces defined by several sítios (places): Achada de António Teixeira, Achada do Pico, Achada da Felpa, Achada Grande, Açougue, Barranco, Covas, Fajã Alta, Farrobo, Farrobo de Cima, Farrobo de Baixo, Furna de Pedro Jorge, Jogo da Bola, Lombo do Pico, Pé do Pico, Pico, Poço e Vale, Pomar, Ribeira Funda, São Pedro and Tanque.

About half of the parish is covered by the rich Laurissilva forest defined as Natural Heritage by UNESCO.
