Pednes is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately five miles west of Redruth. The village is part of the St Agnes and Perranporth electoral division.

The area around Pednes has a history of mining, particularly for tin and copper, which was a significant industry in Cornwall for centuries. Evidence of this past can still be seen in the landscape with former mine workings and engine houses.

The civil parish of Pednes encompasses not only the village itself but also surrounding agricultural land and smaller hamlets. The population of the parish is relatively small, characteristic of many rural Cornish communities.

Economically, Pednes has transitioned from its mining heritage. While agriculture remains a part of the local economy, many residents commute to nearby towns for employment, or work in tourism-related industries, especially given Cornwall's popularity as a holiday destination.

The village itself offers local amenities, and its proximity to the North Cornish coast means residents and visitors have easy access to popular beaches and coastal paths. Pednes is part of the wider West Cornwall landscape, known for its rugged beauty and historical significance.
