Cooksville is a village in McLean County, Illinois, United States.

Illinois Route 165 touches the northwest part of the village leading west-southwest toward Bloomington and east-northeast 20 miles (32 km) to Sibley.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Cooksville has a total area of 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2), all land.

Cooksville was laid out under the name "Kochsville" on December 4, 1882, by Frederick Wilhelm Koch (1829 – 1900).

He sold thirty or forty lots near his home in west Bloomington, and this neighborhood soon became known as Kochsville, giving Koch the distinction of having two McLean County places named in his honor.

The design of the original town of Cooksville was a rectangle north of the tracks with the southern blocks slightly truncated because the railroad did not run exactly east and west.

Soon small additions were laid out south of the tracks and on the east side of the original town.

He established a hardware store and in 1902 built a two-story brick building in the town.
