Crafthole () is a village in the parish of Sheviock, in southeast Cornwall, England. The village has a pub (Finnygook Inn), Post Office, shop, Methodist chapel, and village hall.
== History == Crafthole in the late 19th century, was notorious for smuggling rum which was very valuable. The smugglers used the harbour of Portwrinkle to dock the boats, from which the rum was offloaded and taken up the steep hill connecting the two villages to Crafthole. One of the prime places the rum was stored was in the room below the Methodist chapel which was built in 1867.
