Cobham Intermediate School is a state intermediate school in North West Christchurch, New Zealand.
Cobham was originally named Fendalton Intermediate but that caused confusion between Fendalton Open Air Primary School so the governor-general of New Zealand, Viscount Cobham, allowed Cobham to use his name.
