The Novas Conquistas or "New Conquests" are a group of seven concelhos (municipalities) of Goa and Damaon, officially known as Portuguese India. They were added into Goa in the 18th century AD, a comparatively later date than the original three concelhos that make up the Velhas Conquistas or "Old Conquests".

The seven concelhos of the Novas Conquistas are:

• Pernem,
• Bicholim,
• Sattari,
• Antruz (Ponda),
• Sanguem (modern-day Sanguem and Dharbandora),
• Quepem and
• Canacona.

Silvassa was a newly acquired area in the Província do Norte.

In writing postal addresses, the Novas Conquistas were abbreviated "N.C."
