The Anta das Pedras Grandes is a late-Neolithic site located in Casal Nova in the parish of Caneças, in the Odivelas municipality, in the Lisbon District of Portugal. It was classified as a National Monument in 1944.

There are traces of a tumulus, and human bones have been discovered. Excavations in the surrounding area also identified a large number of flint chippings, suggesting that the area was used for the production of flint items.
