Cornish wrestling is a form of wrestling that has been established in Cornwall for many centuries and possibly longer. It is similar to the Breton Gouren wrestling style. It is colloquially known as "wrasslin’" in the Cornish dialect of English; historically, this usage is attested by Chaucer, Shakespeare and Drayton.

Sir Thomas Parkyns, 2nd Baronet was an English writer, landowner, architect and engineer who was a prominent figure in British wrestling during the Georgian era.
