Handley's Corner is a corner between the 11th Milestone and the 12th Milestone on the Snaefell mountain course on the primary A3 road in Michael parish in the Isle of Man.

The S-bend corner is dominated by high dry-stone wall on one side of the road and is part of the Isle of Man TT course used since 1911. The area is dominated by the Ballamenagh and Shoughlaige-e-Caine farmland. The name derives from Walter Handley riding a Rudge motor-cycle, crashed during lap 1 of the 1932 Isle of Man TT in the Senior TT Race sustaining a back injury retiring from the race. The corner was subjected to road widening and reprofiling during the winter of 1953/1954 for the 1954 Isle of Man TT Races.
