Corby is a town and civil parish in the North Northamptonshire district, in Northamptonshire, England, 23 miles (37 km) northeast of Northampton. In 2021, the parish had a population of 62,341, while the wider built-up area had a population of 68,160. From 1974 to 2021, it was the administrative headquarters of the Borough of Corby; at the 2021 census, the former borough had a population of 75,571.
Corby was once known as "Little Scotland" due to the large number of Scottish workers who came to work in its steelworks. Corby has undergone regeneration with the opening of Corby railway station and Corby International Pool in 2009 and the Corby Cube in 2010. The Cube houses a 450-seat theatre, public library and other community amenities.
