Botallack (Cornish: Bostalek) is a village in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to the A30 road.

The village is in a former tin mining area situated between the town of St Just in Penwith {where the 2011 Census population was included} and the village of Pendeen.

The Botallack Mine, former tin mines, are low down the cliffs north of Botallack. The BBC television series Poldark was filmed partly in Botallack, using Manor Farm as Nampara.

Lae Maen Veor (Cornish: Legh Men Veur meaning great stone ledge), or Botallack Head, is a headland to the north west of Botallack.

The local community radio station is Coast FM (formerly Penwith Radio), which broadcasts on 96.5 and 97.2 FM.
