Condercum is a Roman auxiliary fort situated on Hadrian's Wall at wall mile 6 near Benwell in Northumberland, England.

The fort occupied approximately four acres and its stone remains, including sections of the fort wall and internal structures, survive as earthworks and buried archaeological deposits. Condercum remained in use throughout the Roman occupation of Britain and represents an important example of the infrastructure that supported Hadrian's Wall during the height of Roman military control in northern Britain.
