Oliveira do Hospital (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ɔliˈvɐjɾɐ ðu ɔʃpiˈtal] ⓘ) is a municipality in the district of Coimbra, in the central part of continental Portugal.

One can find Neolithic and Bronze Age burial grounds and genuine religious and rural relics such as the large granite outcroppings used as threshing floors, the Holy Cross Church and the Ferreiros Chapel, a Roman Gothic style temple dating to the 13th century and the Church of Sao Gião, known as the cathedral of its region due to its richly carved and painted 18th century Baroque interior.

It is located at the northern edge of the district of Coimbra in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela Mountains, bisected by the Alva and Alvoco River valleys.

Administratively, the municipality is divided into 16 civil parishes (freguesias):[3] Its fertile geographic position favors agriculture, which is the dominant activity of the region with wine and cheeses being important products.
