Bowithick is a hamlet on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Bowithick is situated near the disused Davidstow Moor airfield. The nearest villages are St Clether and Altarnun (where the 2011 Census population is included).

The manor of Bowithick was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Osferth from Robert, Count of Mortain. He had also held it before 1066 and paid tax for one furlong. There was land for 2 ploughs. There were one villein and 2 smallholders. The value of the manor was 2 shillings though it had formerly been worth 5 shillings.
