'''Carrick''' ({{langx|kw|Karrek}}) was a [[Non-metropolitan district|local government district]] in [[Cornwall]], England, United Kingdom.  Its council was based in [[Truro]].

The main centres of population, industry and commerce were the city of [[Truro]] and the towns of [[Falmouth, Cornwall|Falmouth]]/[[Penryn, Cornwall|Penryn]].

The district was created under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the [[municipal borough]]s of [[Truro]], [[Falmouth, Cornwall|Falmouth]] and [[Penryn, Cornwall|Penryn]], and the [[Truro Rural District]].

It was named after the [[Carrick Roads]], an [[inlet]] near Falmouth that the rivers [[Percuil River|Percuil]], [[River Penryn|Penryn]] and [[River Fal|Fal]] drain into. The district was abolished as part of the [[2009 structural changes to local government in England]] on 1 April.
