Usgao is a village in Ponda taluka, North Goa district, India.

For the purposes of the census, it is considered a "Census Town". It is part of the Usgao-Ganjem Village Panchayat.

In the 2011 Census, Usgao was found to have an area of 25.40 square kilometres, with a total of 2,867 households, and a population of 12,436 persons comprising 6,370 males and 6,066 females.[1] The zero-to-six age group population comprised 1,254 children, of these 614 were males and 640 females.[1]

Usgao (together with Ganjem) was sought to be included in the newly-formed Dharbandora taluka. But a May 2011 Goa government decision accepted to retain this panchayat area within Ponda taluka or sub-district.[2]
