Old Kea (Cornish: Lanndege) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, located close to the banks of the Truro River, about halfway between Truro and Truro River joins the River Fal.
This and the nearby village of Kea are said to have been named after the British Saint Kea who lived there in the 5th century. A monastery at this location is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Of the original parish church only the tower now remains: a small mission church was built onto it in 1863.
