Cornfields is a village in Inkosi Langalibalele Local Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.

The village was established in 1912 when Reverend William Cullen Wilcox bought a 1,483 hectares (3,660 acres) farm, which he divided into 276 plots and sold to black Africans.

Despite the poor soil and low rainfall, the early settlers did manage to grow crops, and the village soon became a refuge for black people who were escaping farm labour.
