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 tellerCornish Folk Tales, Mike O'Connor (Gorsedh Kernow), 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.
