Coriscada is a freguesia (parish) of Portugal, in the municipality of Mêda, in Guarda district. The population in 2011 was 208,[1] in an area of 25.19 km².[2]

Extremely rich in 17th century patrimony, the village has been quite divulged on the last few years over the discovery of a Roman villa (Vale do Mouro) nearby, currently being studied by a Luso-French team (since 2003).
