Chinda is a town in the department of Santa Barbara, Honduras, located in the mountainous interior of the northwestern part of the country, about 180 kilometers from the capital city of Tegucigalpa. The area is characterized by a hilly landscape and a mild tropical climate, with an average annual temperature of about 22-28°C.

The economy of Chinda is predominantly agricultural, producing coffee, maize and sugarcane, with coffee cultivation being an important source of local income. Handicraft production and a small amount of animal husbandry constitute secondary industries.

The town center retains its colonial-style architecture, and the annual Holy Week religious event in January is an important cultural tradition. The surrounding mountains are dotted with waterfalls and hiking trails, and tributaries of the Ulua River offer fishing and ecotourism resources. The local Maya Lenca indigenous community still maintains some of its traditional practices.
Access is via the Santa Barbara city highway network and is recommended during the dry season (November-April).
