Semiliguda is a small town which is situated in the Koraput district of the state Odisha, India. The population generally comprises migrants from other parts of Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh though there are a large number of the Koraputiyans as well.

Semiliguda has been a victim of the Naxalism, with some incidents of business men being killed, or threatened for ransom, by the Naxals. Such violence has resulted in a slowing of development in Semiliguda. The construction of Central University is under process.

Besides the native koraputiyan people have also retailed back because of the migratory population being the rich class there and the native population being impoverished. They have resorted to several means of snatching the land or extracting money from the migratory population.

Semiliguda was a small village in dense forest which is populated by the native Koraputiya . With the development of the two townships nearby: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in 1968 and National Aluminium Company in 1981, the area witnessed rapid development and commercialization attracting large number of people to come and set up their businesses there.
