São Cristóvão is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Sergipe, located in the Metropolitan Region of Aracaju, in the east of the state, and founded by Cristóvão de Barros. It borders the municipalities of Aracaju to the east, Nossa Senhora do Socorro, Laranjeiras and Areia Branca to the north, and Itaporanga d'Ajuda to the west and south.
The center of the municipality is an area of great historical value, which still preserves many streets and buildings from the colonial period. In the region of the Rosa Elze neighborhood, in the east of the municipality, where São Cristóvão borders Aracaju, there is a dense urban area resulting from the expansion of the capital's urban area.
A historic city in the state of Sergipe, considered a national monument, São Cristóvão is situated north of the estuary of the Vaza-Barris River, on the Sergipe coast.
