Cornwall (Cornish: Kernow) is a county and unitary authority in south-west England. The Cornish language became essentially extinct in the 19th century, but there has been an attempt to revive it more recently. Conrwall is sometimes considered one of the Celtic nations. Tin mining was important in Cornwall from very early times.

The Isles of Scilly are a separate unitary authority, but part of the ceremonial county of Cornwall.

Cornwall is part of the Devon and Cornwall Police area.
