Corwin was a small town, now extinct, in Tippecanoe County in the U.S. state of Indiana. It was laid out by Cyrus Foltz in 1856 and consisted of seven lots near the rail line which ran south out of Lafayette. The town never flourished, though, and was eclipsed by nearby Romney.^[1]

Later maps sometimes cite the town as Corwin Station.^[2]
