The Cornish Nationalist Party (CNP; Cornish: An Parti Kenethlegek Kernow) is a political party founded in 1975. It initially campaigned for independence for Cornwall[1] but later supported devolved powers under central UK control.[2]

The CNP should not be confused other Cornish nationalist parties, including Mebyon Kernow (MK) from which the CNP split in 1975,[3] or the similarly named Cornish National Party, which split from MK in 1969.[4]
