Camborne-Redruth was an urban district in Cornwall in England, from 1934 to 1974. It was formed as a merger of Camborne and Redruth urban districts along with parts of Redruth Rural District and Helston Rural District (both of which were being abolished). The towns are about four miles apart and form a loose conurbation.

The urban district persisted until it was merged into the Kerrier district of Cornwall under the Local Government Act 1972. Cornwall became a unitary authority in 2009 and the districts were abolished at that time.

Unusually for an urban district, it included a number of civil parishes:

  • Camborne (from Camborne Urban District)
  • Carharrack (from Redruth Rural District, where it was part of Gwennap parish)
  • Carn Brea
  • Illogan (from Redruth Rural District)
  • Lanner or Lanarth (from Redruth Rural District, where it was part of Gwennap parish)
  • Portreath (from Redruth Rural District, where it was part of Illogan parish)
  • Redruth (from Redruth Urban District)
  • St. Day (from Redruth Rural District, where it was part of Gwennap parish)
  • Wendron (from Helston Rural District, where it was part of the parish)
