Carvalhal is a Portuguese freguesia ("civil parish"), located in Abrantes Municipality, in Santarém District.

[2] Once, the parish population was composed by a large number of woodcutters, due to its location in a densely forested area.

However, since the 1980s, the economic importance of the forest has been declining.

The zone is usually affected by several wildfires during the summer.
