Trewoon (/ˈtruən/;[1] Cornish: Trewoon)[2] is a village in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.[3] It is on the western outskirts of St Austell, on the A3058 road and is a linear settlement, with housing estates, a village hall, park and playing fields. The village has many amenities and local businesses: a garage (mechanical operations only), a post office, a Convenience store, hairdressers, "The White Pyramid" pub, and Trinity Methodist church.

Trewoon is mentioned in the Domesday Book (as Tregoin: held by Hamelin from Robert, Count of Mortain) and is part of the St Mewan Parish and had its own manor known as Hembal Manor. China clay has played a big part in the village's history following its discovery by William Cookworthy.
