Carnock () is a village and parish of Fife, Scotland, west of Dunfermline. It is east of Oakley, Fife. The civil parish had a population of 5,927 .

==History== Carnock is derived from the Gaelic ceàrn ('corner') + the locational suffix -òc (common among Celtic place names) meaning 'corner place, place at or in a corner'. This may refer to the location of the medieval parish church, immediately south of a sharp bend in the Carnock Burn.
