Kornhorn () is a village in Westerkwartier municipality in the Dutch province of Groningen. It had a population of around 495 in 2021.
== Overview == Kornhorn is situated along a dike in a raised bog. It was first mentioned in 1596 as Corriger sandt. The current name means the people of Corre/Curre near the bend (of the dike). (See also: Koarnjum). In 1840, the hamlet was home to 61 people, and considered part of Doezum. In 1930, it received the status of a village. In the 1940s, a disagreement to which parish Kornhorn belonged, resulted in a schism and the establishment of three churches. In 2017, one of the churches dissolved. In 2018, it became part of the municipality Westerkwartier.
