Corcoran is a neighborhood within the Powderhorn community in Minneapolis. The neighborhood is bordered by Longfellow and Howe neighborhoods to the east, Phillips to the north, Powderhorn Park to the west and Standish to the south. Its official boundaries are East Lake Street to the north, Hiawatha Avenue to the east, East 36th Street to the south, and Cedar Avenue to the west.

Corcoran is home to Minneapolis South High School.

In 2006 the Yellow Car Collective, a locally based community and neighborhood organization, began a campaign to rename the neighborhood “Corcoran Heights” in recognition of the neighborhood's elite status. The campaign is still building momentum.

The seasonal Midtown Farmers' Market, a project of the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization, operates weekly on a site in the neighborhood.^[3] Coordinates: 44°56′33″N 93°14′27″W / 44.9425°N 93.2407°W / 44.9425; -93.2407^[4]
