Gwinear (Cornish: Gwynnyer) is a village in western Cornwall, England. It is about two miles (3 km) east of Hayle and overlooks the Angarrack valley.
Until 1934 Gwinear was a separate civil parish within Redruth Rural District. In 1934 Gwinear and its neighbouring civil parish of Gwithian were transferred to West Penwith Rural District where they were merged into the single civil parish of Gwinear-Gwithian.
