Lawhitton (Cornish: Lannwydhan) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated two miles (3 km) south-west of Launceston and half-a-mile west of Cornwall's border with Devon at the River Tamar. The village is the main settlement in the civil parish of Lawhitton Rural, which was created in 1894 from the part of the old parish of Lawhitton that lay outside the borough boundaries of Launceston. The border with Devon forms the parish's eastern boundary; to the north, it is bounded by St Thomas by Launceston parish; to the west by Launceston parish; and to the south by Lezant parish. At the 2021 census the population of the parish was 301.
