Nancor Cross is a medieval wayside cross situated in the parish of Sancreed in west Cornwall.

Such crosses commonly marked important routes, parish boundaries, or served devotional purposes within the local community. The site's precise dating and original function remain subjects for further archaeological investigation, though its form suggests placement within the medieval tradition of cross-erection that flourished in Cornwall between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries.
