Treknow ({{IPAc-en|t|r|ə|'|n|oʊ}}) is a small village in Tintagel civil parish, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom: it is the second largest settlement, and is located between Trevena and Trebarwith.

It is situated {{convert|19|mi|km}} north of Bodmin, {{convert|4|mi|km}} north-west of Camelford, and {{convert|1|mi|km}} west of Tintagel, {{gbmapping|SX056869}}

Treknow (pictured right, from the old road to Trebarwith Strand) lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

Treknow is mentioned as a manor (under the name of 'Tretdeno') in Domesday Book. Slate was quarried here from about 1305 to shortly before the Second World War: many of the quarries were on the coast and later others were opened in the Trebarwith valley to the south. One of the oldest is Lanterdan, recorded in 1464:[1] Bagalow Quarry near Hole Beach was an enterprise of Edgar Jeffray (early 19th century). A small copper mine also operated in the latter years of the 18th century. The acidic local soil was manured with beach sand from nearby Trebarwith Strand: the trade in sand led to road improvements in the early 19th century (the Trebarwith Strand to Condolden "Sanding Road").

Some buildings in the village display a marked Arts and Crafts influence, probably as a result of the work of architect Detmar Blow who is known to have worked on the Old Post Office in Tintagel for four years from 1896.[2]

Treknow has a village hall[3] and one small hotel. The former small Chapel of the Holy Family (Church of England, built in 1929) has been redeveloped for private use.
