Cindye or Kindye () was a town of ancient Caria, near Bargylia.
Herodotus notes Cindye as the hometown of Pixodarus, son of Mausolos, who was married to the daughter of the king of the Cilician's, Syennesis. He proposed that they should fight against the Persians so that they had the Maeander River behind them, so that by not being able to flee, they would be forced to fight with greater courage than usual. However, his proposal was rejected.
