The Devon and Cornwall County Division of the British Army was a British County Division formed on 28 February 1941.

It lasted until 1 December of that year when it was reformed in an infantry role, as the 77th Infantry Division.
It had three commanding officers, Major General C. W. Allfrey from three days before its formation until one day before, Major General F. E. Morgan from then until 30 October and Major General W. G. Michelmore until 30 November. It controlled the 203rd Independent Infantry Brigade (Home), 209th Independent Infantry Brigade (Home) and 211th Independent Infantry Brigade (Home).
