Kórnik [IPA-pl|'|k|u|r|n|i|k] is a town of less than 6,807 inhabitants (2006) in Greater Poland. Located approximately 35 kilometres to the south-east of Poznań, it is one of major tourist attractions of Greater Poland Voivodeship.

Until 1961 the modern town of Kórnik consisted of two separate towns, Kórnik itself and the town of Bnin, located only 1 kilometre away. Both towns were founded in Middle Ages.

Among the notable tourist attractions of the area are:
* Kórnik Castle, a mediaeval castle turned into a baroque palace of the Działyński family in 18th century.
* Town halls of both Kórnik and Bnin. That of Kornik was built in 1907 as a neo-baroque city hall; Bnin's is a piece of original 18th century late baroque architecture
* Kórnik Library ("Bibliotheca Cornicensis"), one of the most famous Polish libraries, founded by Tytus Działyński in 1828. Currently the library, despite being robbed by the Germans during the World War II, is one of 5 largest libraries in Poland and contains roughly 400,000 volumes, including 30,000 books older than 150 years, 14,000 manuscripts. Since 1953 it is a part of the National Library of Poland.
