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, comparatively later than the three original 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."
