Timothy Hugh Corcoran (born April 15, 1978 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is a pitcher in the Florida Marlins minor league organization. While a having a short call-up late in the 2005 season, Corcoran went into 2006 Spring Training looking to stay in the majors. After a horrendous spring he was sent down to AAA to begin the season. Corcoran was recalled on June 15 with injury to closer Tyler Walker. He appeared in three relief appearances before getting a spot start in place of recently demoted Seth McClung. He pitched well enough to remain in the rotation, going 5-9 with a 4.38 earned run average in 16 starts and 5 relief appearances. He started the season with Class AAA Class AAA Durham and was recalled by the Devil Rays after Juan Salas received a 50-game suspension following a positive drug test. On June 11, 2007, however, Corcoran was optioned to the minors. On January 4, 2008 he a signed a minor league deal with the Marlins, and is currently playing for their AA team, the Carolina Mudcats.

Corcoran's brother, Roy Corcoran, is a pitcher in the Seattle Mariners organization with their triple-A affiliate the Tacoma Rainers.
