The Ver-o-Peso Market, or Ver-o-Peso, is a street market and fair, and small port area inaugurated in 1901 (replacing the "Casa de Haver-o-Peso", 1625-1899) that is part of the Ver-o-Peso Complex (1625). It is located in the city of Belém (Pará) in the neighborhood of Campina, on the shores of Guajará Bay.

It is considered one of the oldest public markets in the country and was elected one of the wonders of the state of Pará and one of the 7 Wonders of Brazil.

It was in the "Haver-o-peso house" that the taxes over goods brought from the Amazon forests, rivers and countryside should be paid to the Portuguese crown, but only after their weight was measured, hence the name, which later suffered a contraction.
