Chapora is a river in the northernmost part of the Indian state of Goa. In the 18th century, the river marked the boundary between Goa, which was Christian, and India, which was Hindu.[1]

The river originates from a small village in Maharashtra called Hajgoli near Belgaum and then it flows through the Tilari Ghat and enters Goa. It divides North Goa talukas Pernem and Bardez. The river flows into the Arabian Sea.[2] Vagator Beach, a tourist destination, is located at the estuary to the south, and to the north is the village Morjim.
