Keinton Mandeville is a village and parish in Somerset, England, situated six miles west of Castle Cary in the South Somerset district. The village has a population of 991. It is next to Barton St David.

At the time of the Domesday Book it was known as Chintone meaning "the noble's enclosure" from the Old English "cyne" and "tun". The Mandeville part of the village's name came from Stephen de Mandeville around 1243.
