Botternell is a hamlet in the parish of North Hill, east Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The name means "Dornel's dwelling". Boturnell, also in Cornwall, has the same meaning.[1]

The earliest date for the village of Botternell is around the year.1160. By 1650, it consisted of two separate villages - higher and lower Bourtnell, (spelling varies).

By 1840, Botternel was no longer classified as a village. Today, Botternel consists of a farm of the same name and a small hamlet of five houses on the site.[2][3] There is a bus stop in the hamlet.[4]
