Corinne Grant (born June 12, 1973 in Corryong, Victoria) is an Australian comedian and television presenter.
After briefly studying as a nurse in Wodonga, she embarked upon a career as a stand-up comedian in Melbourne. She also gained a degree in drama. In the late 1990s she appeared on the community television Channel 31 as a regular on the show Under Melbourne Tonight as part of a musical comedy duo with Jenny Connelly.
She co-hosted the comedy show The Glass House (ABC-TV), with Wil Anderson and Dave Hughes, which was cancelled in 2006. In the final episode, Corinne was noticeably teary.

She also appeared on the first two series of the sketch comedy series Skithouse (Network Ten).
In 2005 she appeared alongside Greg Fleet, Adam Hills, Alan Brough and Steven Gates in "Die On your Feet", a play written by Greg Fleet.
She returned to stand-up after a five year break in 2006, appearing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and in her own solo show called "Faking It", before moving on to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a show titled "Nice Friendly Lady Hour". Grant has written a non-fiction book, Beyond Endurance (published 1994), and penned articles for newspapers such as the Herald Sun and The Age.
