A dos Cunhados (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ ðuʃ kuˈɲaðuʃ]) is a former civil parish in the municipality of Torres Vedras in the central Oeste subregion of Portugal.

[1] Covering an area of approximately 43.98 square kilometres (16.98 sq mi), its population in 2001 was 6936 resident inhabitants.

The settlement of this area, originated in the ancient Paleolithic period resulting from the fertility of the soils, enriched by margins of the Alcabrichel River.

The name A dos Cunhados reflected the first inhabitants: three brothers-in-law (cunhados) who inhabited a large estate, that was later divided amongst them and their descendants.

The parish of A dos Cunhados was created in 1581, by Jorge de Almeida, archbishop of Lisbon (with the permission of the Bishop of Targa) after he, in 1572 had authorized the first celebrations of mass in the local chapel (later church) two years earlier.
