Playing Place is a village southwest of Truro in Cornwall. It is to the east of the A39 road.

The village appears to be named after a mediæval public space, known in Cornish as a Plen-an-gwary, used for plays, sports, and public events. The phrase Plen-an-gwary means "playing place". There is no clear remaining sign of such a space in the village however.
