Calindoia, also spelled Kalindoia, was an ancient city of the Bottiaeans in the region of Mygdonia, in what is now the Thessaloniki regional unit of Greece. It is first recorded in an Athenian-Bottiaean alliance of 422 BC and was later refounded as a Macedonian city in the late fourth century BC, when King Alexander granted it to the Macedonians. Its site has been identified near the modern village of Kalamoto, in the community of Nea Kallindoia, which along with the surrounding municipal unit takes its name from the ancient city.
