Carnoy is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Carnoy is situated on the D254 road, some 43 km (27 mi) northeast of Amiens.
In the First World War, the area was the site of heavy fighting, particularly during the Battle of the Somme. It was also one of the sites where large British mines were exploded on the first day that battle.
