Fatorda is a suburb of the city of Margao[2] in Salcete, Goa. Fatorda has been originally home to the traditional Scheduled Tribe/Scheduled Caste population.[3] The Catholic Gawda community has a very large presence in Fatorda. However, due to the increasing number of buildings in Fatorda,[4] the population has become more diverse.[4]

Fatorda is also a constituency (30-Fatorda) in the Goa Legislative Assembly.[5][6]
