Tuckingmill (Cornish: Talgarrek, meaning "hill-brow of a rock") is a village in Cornwall, England.

The [ecclesiastical] parish of Tuckingmill was constituted in 1845 and it covers 1,300 acres (5.3 km2). It was carved out of a western section of the parish of Illogan and an easterly section of Camborne parish. Tucking Mill (Cornish: Melyn Droghya, from the verb troghya) was the Cornish term for a fulling mill which was where homespun cloth was dipped, cleansed and dressed. There is a mention of a fulling mill in this region as early as 1250. During the nineteenth century Tuckingmill was at the heart of Cornish [mining] industry.
