Boscreege is a small village in the civil parish of Germoe in west Cornwall, in England, United Kingdom.[1]

The village is on the southern edge of a former mining area, part of a geological formation known as the Tregonning-Godolphin Granite (one of five granite batholiths in Cornwall) which was formerly an important source of tin and copper ore (see also Geology of Cornwall).
