The four cardinal directions, or cardinal points, are the four main compass directions: north, south, east, and west, commonly denoted by their initials N, S, E, and W respectively. Relative to north, the directions east, south, and west are at 90 degree intervals in the clockwise direction.

The names of the compass point directions follow these rules: The four cardinal directions are north (N), east (E), south (S), west (W), at 90° angles on the compass rose. The four intercardinal (or ordinal) directions are formed by bisecting the above, giving: northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW).

當north（北方）、south（南方）、east（東方）、west（西方）和其所延伸的單字所指稱的是特定區域或者是專有名詞的一部分時，則該方位名詞的首字母應使用大寫。
