Cordova[3][4][5][6] is a community in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. Cordova lies east of Memphis, north of Germantown, south of Bartlett, and northwest of Collierville at an elevation of 361 feet (110 meters).

The majority of Cordova has been annexed by the City of Memphis. The remainder of Cordova is in unincorporated Shelby County, within the Memphis Annexation Reserve area.[7] The boundaries of the Cordova community are inexact, but are generally regarded as the Wolf River on the south, Whitten Road on the west, Interstate 40 on the north, and Pisgah Road on the east.[citation needed] Parts of Shelby Farms are considered part of Cordova.[citation needed]The Old Cordova Area is centered on Macon and Sanga Roads, about a mile and a half east of Germantown Road.[citation needed]It consists of the former town of Cordova, with some of the original structures still present. The Wolfchase Area is not actually a part of Cordova, but is often referred to as part of the Cordova area by association.[citation needed] It contains major shopping centers, businesses and apartments.
