Corris is a village in the county of Gwynedd, Wales, about 4.5 miles (7 km) north of the town of Machynlleth. The village lies on the west bank of the Afon Dulas (which here forms the boundary with Powys), around that river's confluence with the Afon Deri. Corris railway station is the headquarters and museum of the Corris Railway, a preserved narrow gauge railway.

The area has a community council. The community council system replaced the former parish council system and tackles local issues, as well as acting as a contact point between local government and residents for information and resources on various issues. The community elects one member to represent the Corris/Mawddwy ward on Gwynedd Council.[1] Besides Corris, the ward covers Mawddwy community to the north-east.[2]
