Engordany (Catalan pronunciation: [əŋɡuɾˈðaɲ]) is a village in Andorra, located in the parish of Escaldes-Engordany. It is contiguous with Les Escaldes and Andorra la Vella. [citation needed]

The village has a tradition of staging street theatre which is popular with tourists.[1] Catalan writer Esteve Albert organised a live nativity play in Engordany involving all the villagers.[1] In 2024, amateur actors from the Animal School of Theater staged performances of "Tourists and Bathers", a street show depicting ten scenes fron the parish's history as a destination for visitors seeking its thermal waters.[2]
