The '''Combat of the Côa''' (July 24, 1810) was a military engagement that occurred during the [[Peninsular War]] period of the [[Napoleonic Wars]]. It took place in the valley of the [[Côa]] River and it was the first significant battle for the new army of 65,000 men controlled by Marshal [[André Masséna]], as the French prepared for their third invasion of Portugal.
