Corint és una ciutat del Peloponès a Grècia, capital del nomós del seu mateix nom. Té uns 30.000 habitants.

Segons la mitologia grega, la ciutat va ser fundada amb el nom d'Èfira per Sísif, que en fou rei. La ciutat actual és al nord-est de l'antiga, que era a l'istme de Corint, a la prolongació cap aquest de les muntanyes de Geranea procedents del nord i que arribaven de costat a costat. Era al golf Sarònic i estava unida per una via a Mègara; tenia al sud les muntanyes Oneia i la ciutadella estava en una roca anomenada Acrocorint; la part plana era arrecerada per llargues muralles que protegien la zona fins al port de la ciutat, que era a Lekeion i la zona de Cenkrea. La ciutat protegia els tres passos de l'istme. Després del terratrèmol del segle vi, que la va destruir, va esdevenir un llogaret conegut com a Gortho fins al segle xix, quan va recuperar el seu nom.
