Cornwall Council is a local government authority based in Truro, Cornwall, in the Government Administration sector. It has secured what is described as the UK's first devolution deal for a rural county and provides a wide range of public services to both residents and visitors. Its remit includes services such as care for the elderly, safeguarding of children, libraries, road maintenance, fire and rescue, recycling, parks, street cleaning, countryside management, social housing, town planning, tourism support and trading standards.

It delivers these services through its staff and through several council-owned companies, including CORMAC, Cornwall Housing, Tempus Leisure, Newquay Airport and Cornwall Development Company, and it maintains close links with health organisations, colleges and universities, the police, town and parish councils, and the voluntary sector. The authority is governed by elected councillors and is organized into 19 community networks to coordinate local work. In 2026, notable developments included the transfer of land assets from the Great British Railways Transition Team and a partnership with Sanctuary Care Ltd to identify a new site for Penberthy Care Home on Mount Wise.
