Cardinham is a village and civil parish in the North Cornwall district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, about 8 miles north east of Bodmin. (The spelling 'Cardynham' is almost obsolete.)
The parish church is dedicated to St Meubred: it has north and south aisles and a tower of granite. The chancel suffered bomb damage in World War II. Two freestanding Celtic crosses of stone, bearing inscriptions in Latin have been found in Cardinham; both had been imbedded in the walls of the fifteenth-century church and were moved after their discovery to the churchyard.
