Poughill (pronounced "Pofil" or "Puffil") () is a village in the civil parish of Bude-Stratton, in the Cornwall district, in north-east Cornwall, England. It is located one mile north of Bude. In 2015 it had an estimated population of 677.
==History== Poughill is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Pochehelle. The name is of uncertain origin. It may be from Old English pohha 'pouch', used in the topographical sense of a deep valley, or Pohha used as a personal name or nickname, and hylle 'hill' or wylle 'spring'. So the meaning could be "hill by a deep valley", "spring in a deep valley", "hill of a man named Pohha" or "spring of a man named Pohha".
