Lucius Cornificius, a member of the plebeian gens Cornificia, was a Roman politician and consul in 35 BC.
Cornificius served as the accuser of Marcus Junius Brutus in the court which tried the murderers of Julius Caesar.
In 38 BC Octavian gave him the command of a fleet in the war against Sextus Pompeius during which he distinguished himself in battle in the waters around Sicily.
In 36 BC he was given part of the army and managed to extricate his troops from a dangerous situation and unite them with Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa at Mylae.
As part of the embellishing program that Augustus started, Cornificius rebuilt a temple of Diana.
