Pendoggett is a village of about 175 people in Cornwall, near St Kew. It is a linear village straddling the B3314 Wadebridge to Delabole road about five miles northwest of Wadebridge, four miles southeast of Delabole, and two miles southeast of Port Isaac.

The village's name is from the Cornish language words for "Head of two woods": Penn dew goes.

The Cornish Arms is a 16th-century inn.[1]

Pendoggett is within the 'Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', as is almost a third of the county.
