Halsetown is a village near St Ives, Cornwall, England, UK.
Halsetown is an industrial village planned by the solicitor and politician James Halse and built in the 1830s. There was a tin mine nearby and also a ropeworks.
The ecclesiastical parish was created in 1846 and the parish church (1857) was dedicated to St John the Evangelist. A mission chapel was opened on 6 November 1878 because the parish church was too far for parishioners to attend.
The village is administered by St Ives Town Council.
