Kärdla (rts Kärrdal; sks Kertel) on Hiiu maakonna halduskeskus ja Hiiu valla sisene linn. Tegemist on ainsa linnaga maakonnas. Läbi linna voolavad Nuutri jõgi, Lumumba jõgi (Kammioja) ja Kärdla oja (Liivaoja).
Paul Ariste on Kärdla rootsikeelset nime Kärrdal tõlkinud kui "Võsaoru".
Hiidlaste seltside jaotuses nimetatakse Kärdla rahvast kohvilähkriteks. "Kärdla alevi mehi on hüütud kohvilähkriks, kuna nad vabrikusse tööle minnes lähkriga kohvi kaasa võtnud," põhjendab seda Emmaste kihelkonnast 1971. aastal kogutud teade.

Kärdla (Swedish: Kärrdal, German: Kertel) is the only town on the island of Hiiumaa, Estonia. It's the capital of Hiiu County and the centre of Hiiu Parish
Kärdla is located on the north-eastern coast of Hiiumaa, by the Tareste Bay. Southeast of the town is the Kärdla meteorite crater, which is 455 million years old. Several small rivers flow through the town. There are also artesian wells in Kärdla.
Kärdla was first mentioned in 1564 as a village inhabited by Swedes. Its growth was greatly influenced by the cloth factory founded in 1830. A port was built in 1849. Both the port and the factory were destroyed in World War II.
Kärdla officially became a borough in 1920 and a town in 1938. In 2013 the town was merged with Kõrgessaare Parish to establish Hiiu Parish, therefore Kärdla lost its municipality status.
Pleasant memories from Hiiumaa!
