[miniatura|dereita|Celebración do [Día de San Piran (Día nacional de Cornualla) en Penzance.]]
O **folclore córnico** refírese ó conxunto de tradicións, costumes e manifestacións artísticas que desenvolvidos polo pobo córnico en Cornualla. É especialmente prolífico e rico en contos e mitos, moitos deles sobre criaturas fantásticas como xigantes, sereas, buccas e pixies (*xente pequena*). Aínda son incribelmente populares hoxe en día, e hai multitude de eventos celebrados en Cornualla nos que se poden atopar os *droll teller*, que son persoas que contan as historias. Algúns destes contos e lendas tiveron moito éxito de publicación, particularmente nos libros para cativos. Un exemplo é o libro *Jack the Giant Killer*, que ten lugar en Cornualla.

Tamén é destacábel que moitas das lendas que asocian o Rei Artur con Cornualla, sitúan o seu lugar de nacemento en Tintagel, que era a corte do seu tío Marco de Cornualla. Unhas das personalidades da bruxaría moderna é Gemma Gary, que teorizou e sistematizou o conxunto de crenzas labregas tradicionais deste folclore.
