Poreta is a village in the municipality of Spoleto, in the region of Umbria, Italy. As of 2021, it had a population of 143. The village is situated at an elevation of above sea level. It lies between Spoleto, Campello, and the Springs of Clitunno.

== History == thumb|Castle of Poreta Poreta originated as a villa and became a fortified village toward the end of the 13th century. In the second half of the 15th century, because of repeated raids by mercenary companies, a circuit of walls was built around the older settlement. The result was a compact built-up center of houses joined closely together, which became the focal point of a wider settlement spread across the slope and the plain of Spoleto.
