Maior Abandonado () is the third album by Brazilian rock band Barão Vermelho, released in 1984. It is their most critically acclaimed and generally considered their best album. It contains their biggest hit "Bete Balanço". This was the last album with singer and main lyricist Cazuza, who left the band in 1985.
The cover shows the band members in front of a low-budget hotel called "Loves House", which was actually a brothel. To the right of the band, a transvestite could be seen by a wall.
The back cover features a picture of the band being searched by the police, with the same transvestite from the front cover to their left, smiling. The officers involved hid their IDs in order not to be punished for taking part in the simulation. On the wall right above the band, a graffiti that reads "Faço da minha vida um cenário da minha tristeza" ("I make of my life a scenery for my sadness") can be seen; it is signed by Careca (lit. "bald").
