# Callington (electoral division)

Callington (Cornish: Kelliwik) was any of various wards and electoral divisions of Cornwall in the United Kingdom.
The most recent was the Callington division which returned one member to sit on Cornwall Council between 2009 and boundary changes at the 2021 elections, when it was succeeded by Callington and St Dominic.
There were also Callington divisions on Cornwall County Council from 1973 to 2009 electing one member, and on Caradon District Council electing two members from 1973 to 2003 and three from 2003 to 2009.

## Cornwall Council
### Councillors

| Election | Member | Member | Party |
| 2009 | | Andrew Long | Mebyon Kernow |
| 2013 | | Andrew Long | Mebyon Kernow |
| 2017 | | Andrew Long | Mebyon Kernow |
| 2021 | Seat abolished | Seat abolished | Seat abolished |

### Extent

Callington represented the town of Callington as well as the hamlet of Frogwell and part of the hamlet of Newbridge (which was shared with the St Dominick, Harrowbarrow and Kelly Bray division). Although the division was nominally abolished in boundary changes at the 2013 elections, this had very little impact on the ward. Both before and after the boundary changes, the division covered 787 hectares.
