The Grupo de Operações Especiais (Portuguese for Special Operations Group), mostly known by its acronym GOE, was a tier two police tactical unit of the Brazilian Civil Police of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It was comparable to Rio de Janeiro's CORE. In 2019, the Governor of the State of São Paulo, João Dória, extinguished the group and its members were moved to the newly created Department of Strategic Police Operations (Departamento de Operações Policiais Estratégicas).
