Corbin is a former community in St. Clair County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. It was located in Section 8 of Polk Township, about seven miles east of Osceola.[1] The community site was inundated and destroyed with the creation of the Truman Reservoir.[2][3]

A post office called Corbin was established in 1901, named for Jim Corbin, and remained in operation until 1933.[4][5][6]
