Cap Corse (French pronunciation: [kap kɔʁs]; Corsican: Capicorsu, [kapiˈkɔrsu]; Italian: Capo Corso, [ˈkaːpo ˈkɔrso]), a geographical area of Corsica, is a 40 kilometres (25 mi) long peninsula located at the northern tip of the island.

The canton of Cap Corse is slightly larger, and also includes the communes Farinole, Patrimonio, San-Martino-di-Lota and Santa-Maria-di-Lota.

[4] Numerous historians have termed Cap Corse "the Sacred Promontory" and have gone so far as to suppose the name came from a high concentration of early Christian settlements.

The term comes from the geographer Ptolemy, who called his first and northernmost location on Corsica the hieron akron in ancient Greek, translated by the Romans as sacrum promontorium.

There is some geographic justification for associating Ptolemy's entire tribe, the Vanacini, who are described as "more to the north", with Cap Corse, as it is a distinct geophysical environment.
