Nossa Senhora de Fátima is the northernmost and largest civil parish in the Macau Peninsula of Macau. It has an area of 3.2 square kilometers (1.2 sq mi) and a population of 126,000, which constitutes about 40.3% of the peninsula's land mass and one-third of the population.
This parish was one of five in the former Municipality of Macau, one of Macau's two municipalities that were abolished on 31 December 2001 by Law No. 17/2001, following the 1999 transfer of sovereignty over Macau from Portugal to China. While their administrative functions have since been removed, these parishes are still retained nominally.
It is northeast of the parishes of Santo António and São Lázaro. It borders the Chinese city of Zhuhai to the north.
