Camarate (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐmɐˈɾatɨ]) is a former civil parish in the municipality of Loures, Lisbon District, Portugal.

The probable origin of the local place name came from the historical cultivation of vineyards with a caste of grape called Camarate.

[2][3] During the Portuguese Interregnum, the estate of Camarate, then property of the Jew David Negro, administrator of the Royal Customhouses of King Ferdinand I of León and Castile, was confiscated and delivered into the hands of Nuno Álvares Pereira, who lived there with his mother until joining the Carmelite Order.

[2] Situated in north of Lisbon, Camarate is a civil parish located in the eastern part of the municipality of Loure.

[4] It is fronted in the northwest by the Lourense parishes of Frielas and Unhos, southeast by Prior Velho and east by Sacavém; in the extreme southeast it borders Santa Maria dos Olivais, in the south Charneca (both parishes of Lisbon); and, finally southwest, with the Olival Basto in the municipality of Odivelas.
