Louis Craig Cornish (18 April 1870 – 7 January 1950) was an American religious leader who eventually became president of the American Unitarian Association (1927—1937).
During that period, the Great Depression made it difficult for him to carry out his duties. But he worked for international religious cooperation and led an investigation in the 1920s into the alleged persecution of Unitarians in Romania.
A "Louis C. Cornish "Living the Mission" Award" has since 1999 been awarded in his honor.
