Ladock (Cornish: Egloslajek (village) or Pluw Lajek (parish)) is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is about six miles (9.5 km) north-east of Truro.

Historically, Ladock was two small settlements; Bissick by the river and Ladock on the hill. Notable features include the church, the school, the village hall and the historic Falmouth Arms pub. At the 2011 census the total population was 4,241.

The village had a station, Probus and Ladock halt, on the Cornish Main Line railway but services to the station ended in 1957.
