St. Anthony-in-Meneage (Cornish: Lannentenin) is a coastal civil parish and village in Cornwall, England. The parish is in the Meneage district of The Lizard peninsula. In the 2001 census the parish had a population of 171. The village is situated on a peninsula between the Helford River and Gillan Harbour on the west side of Falmouth Bay, five miles (8 km) south of Falmouth and seven miles (11 km) east of Helston. The parish is divided by Gillan Harbour and the tidal Gillan Creek. The village and parish church are on the north side of Gillan Harbour. South of the harbour are the hamlets of Carne (in Meneage), Flushing (in Meneage) (not to be confused with the larger village of Flushing north of Falmouth) and Gillan, and further inland the small ancient settlements of Boden and Trewarnevas. St. Anthony-in-Meneage was part of the Helston Rural District from 1894 until 1934 and part of the Kerrier Rural District from 1934 until 1974.
