Absolutely. Cornstarch and cornflour are the same thing. Generally speaking, the product will be called cornstarch in the USA. In Commonwealth countries, except for Canada, it will be called cornflour.

Cornflour may be made from either wheat or maize (it will generally be labelled as "wheaten cornflour" if it is from wheat). The word "corn" in this context goes back to Old English and meant "grain with the seed still in" rather than referring to a specific species.

It is ground from the endosperm of the grain and has a "quick sand" appearance when mixed with liquid. It will yield easily to gentle pressure but will resist sudden or violent pressure. Cornflour corn starch is different from corn meal or polenta and these cannot be substituted.
