Penela da Beira is a village and civil parish (freguesia) within the Portuguese municipality of Penedono, in the district of Viseu.

It has an area of 15.96 km2 and had 353 inhabitants at the 2011 census (population density 22.1/km2).

The parish received the first foral (Royal charter) awarded to a Portuguese territory by Ferdinand I of León (Ferdinand the Great) in 1055 (or 1065).

Subsequently, it was placed under the council of São João da Pesqueira before being finally returned to Penedono in 1898.

A striking feature of the village is a massive granite outcrop in its centre, surrounded by houses but rising above them.
