Tsagkarada (Greek: Τσαγκαράδα) is a village and a community in the municipal unit of Mouresi in the eastern part of Magnesia, Greece.
It was the seat of the former municipality Mouresi. It is situated at 408 m elevation, on the eastern slope of the forested Pelion mountains. The community includes the village Mylopotamos. Tsagkarada is located 1.5 km southeast of Mouresi, 3 km north of Xorychti, 9 km southeast of Zagora and about 20 km east of the city of Volos (Magnesia's capital).
In the main square, near Agia Paraskevi church, there is a big platanus tree. Perhaps the oldest of Greece, it is said to be at least one thousand years old. It has a perimeter of nearly 20 meters.
