Grampound (Cornish: Ponsmeur) is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Grampound with Creed, in the Cornwall district, in the ceremonial county of Cornwall, England. It is at an ancient crossing point of the River Fal and today is on the A390 road six miles (10 km) west of St Austell and eight miles (13 km) east of Truro. In 1961 the parish had a population of 412.
Formerly, part of Grampound was in the parish of Creed and part was in the parish of Probus. On 1 April 1983 the parish was abolished and merged with Creed to form "Grampound with Creed".
The name Grampound comes from the Norman French: grand (great), pont (bridge), referring to the bridge over the River Fal, with its spelling varying over the last 600 years following the name Ponsmur (Cornish) which was recorded in 1308. The population of Grampound with Creed was 654 in the 2011 census.
