Manuel "Manny" Corpas (born December 3, 1982 in Panama City, Panama) is a relief pitcher for the Colorado Rockies. Corpas was signed by the Rockies at the age of 16 as an amateur free agent in 1999. He made his debut for the Rockies on July 18, 2006.

Following the All-Star Break in 2007, Corpas filled in as closer for Brian Fuentes, who was demoted after taking four of eight losses during an 8-game losing skid. Corpas finished the year with a 4-2 win-loss record, a 2.08 earned run average, and 19 saves in 22 chances; he continued to serve as the Rockies' closer during the 2007 postseason.

He continued as the closer into the 2008 season. However, after a number of poor outings, he was replaced by Fuentes in late April.[1]
