Kelindide is a material used by the Cardassians in the construction of their space stations and starships.

The core sections of Terok Nor/Deep Space 9 were made of thirty-one percent kelindide. The habitat ring and docking ring consisted of forty-five percent kelindide. The docking pylons and crossover bridges were manufactured from twenty-six percent kelindide. The hull plating of the station was made from kelindide, polyduranium, rodinium, and toranium. (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)

In 2370, Kira Nerys and Miles O'Brien detected kelindide in the wreckage of the Bok'Nor. (DS9 episode: "The Maquis, Part I")
