St Pinnock (Cornish: Sen Pynnek) is a hamlet and civil parish in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Liskeard. Other settlements in the parish include East Taphouse, and Penfrane,[1] containing 421 inhabitants.[2] The parish church, dedicated to St Pynnochus (Winnoc), is located at OS Grid Ref SX200630.

To the north, the parish is bordered by St Cleer and St Neot parishes, to the east by Dobwalls and Trewidland parish, to the south by Lanreath and Duloe parishes and to the west by Braddock parish. In 1851 the parish of Herodsfoot was created from parts of St Pinnock, Lanreath and Duloe parishes.[3] The parish of St Pinnock has always been in the Liskeard Registration District.[4] The A390 road runs through the north of the parish.
