Rebordões is a civil parish in the Santo Tirso Municipality located three kilometres northeast of the municipal seat of Santo Tirso. The population in 2011 was 3,368, in an area of 4.21 km².

==History== There are many theories about the parish's origin and its toponymic name, but most accept that the settlement was formed in the Middle Ages by a group of peasants from Santo Tirso. Arriving in an area full of wild chestnuts (the rebordão), the area began to be referred to as Rebordões.
