Kirchlindach is a municipality in the district of Bern in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
The name Kirchlindach first appeared in writing on 2 October 1185, when Pope Lucius III affirmed legal possession of the area to Erlach in a papal bull. The municipality's coat of arms shows three lime leaves on a silver field crossed by a red bar.
