Morvah (Cornish: Morvedh) is a civil parish and village on the Penwith peninsula in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[1] Evidence of a settlement at Morvah in the early Middle Ages is in the form of an inscribed stone known as the Mên Scryfa; it is a memorial to one 'Rialobranus son of Cunovalus', located in a field on a moor about three kilometres from the village.

The finest antiquities of Morvah parish are the Neolithic dolmen of Chûn Quoit (c. 3500 BC) and the nearby Iron Age hillfort (c. 300 BC) of Chûn Castle (half of which is also in Madron parish), as well as the Late Iron Age settlement of four distinctively local courtyard houses at Croftoe.

In 1884 during quarrying for building materials at Morvah, on the coast at Carne Farm, (which lies about half a mile north of Chûn Castle and quoit), a hoard of gold ornaments was found dating from the late Bronze Age.

Morvah Consols was probably first opened in the 1820s and in 1851 was reported in the Cornish Telegraph newspaper as a new copper mine, with funding by the Levant adventurers.

In 1875 the Stanneries Court closed the mine after it only produced 5 tons 18 cwt of tin concentrate and wages had not been paid.

In the late 19th century the then priest of Morvah lead a successful campaign to ban the celebrations due to the excess of drunken and promiscuous behaviour.

In a proclamation he stated "The Church-Town of Morvah has for many years past been much resorted to on the First Sunday in August by disorderly persons of every description, much to the annoyance of the parishioners, he hereby cautions all such persons from assembling on that day for idle and profane amusement, so revolting to that great command of the Law of God – "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" Strict orders have been given to the Constable and Officers of the Parish to take into custody any person who shall be found desecrating the Lord's Day.

The 9,000 tonne MV Karin Schepers ( Netherlands), with a cargo which included petroleum ran onto a sandy beach under Trevean Cliff at 17 knots on 3 August 2011.
