Coriscada is a freguesia ("civil 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 notable since 2000 for the discovery nearby of a Roman villa, the Vale do Mouro, excavated by a Luso-French team from 2003.

The antipode of Coriscada is the town of Tākaka, New Zealand.
