- Administrative Port: Newlyn
- County: Cornwall
- Population: 3536
Newlyn is a town in southwest Cornwall, and is the busiest fishing port on the British mainland. The natural protection afforded in Newlyn has enabled many local fishermen to use this area as a preferred landing site, and Newlyn's history has been strongly linked to its role as a major fishing port with Newlyn Harbour being first recorded in 1435 by the Bishop of Exeter. Today, fishing is still the primary economy in Newlyn, with the area being a major supplier of Cornish sardines.
