The Fábrica Nacional de Cordoaria or Cordoaria Nacional was a manufacturing establishment of the Portuguese Navy located in Lisbon, Portugal. Its old building, dating from 1779, is now a national monument. Cordoaria was initially founded in 1771, as Real Fábrica da Cordoaria da Junqueira, completely ending its manufacturing activity only in 1998.

The Cordoaria building is located in the parish of Belém, between Avenida da Índia, Travessa das Galeotas, Rua de Mécia Mouzinho de Albuquerque and Rua da Junqueira.

Cordoaria manufactured cables, sisal ropes, sails and flags that equipped Portuguese ships.

Its installations extend over almost 400 meters, for a width of only about 50 meters, paralleling the Tagus River. These characteristic dimensions were due to the needs of the production process. Its situation, on the river, sought to facilitate the supply of products to boat owners.

Nowadays, the building, open to the public, hosts several exhibitions throughout the year, such as the Bienal Antiques exhibition, which includes tapestries, furniture, paintings, porcelain, etc.
