Manoir de Caniel stands in Cany-Barville (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). No visits are on record for this building.

The manoir de Caniel, in Cany-Barville, survives only as an archaeological site: the remains of a 14th-century seigneurial residence, destroyed during the upheavals of the late Middle Ages. What can be seen is a raised mound surrounded by a wide moat, once the location of the manor attributed to Pierre de Chambly. Excavations carried out in 1978 documented the site, which is now a protected historic monument.
