Corey Durdin (born 14 April 2002) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]

Durdin was selected at No. 37 in the 2020 National AFL draft by the Carlton Football Club. It was Carlton's first draft selection in that year.[2] He played his first AFL game in round 22 of the 2021 season and in May 2022 was nominated as the AFL Rising Star for that round.[3]

He played eleven games in 2023 before suffering a knee injury that required surgery. Upon his return to the VFL he sustained a shoulder injury that also required surgery. He returned to the senior side in March 2024 replacing injured midfielder Sam Docherty.[4]

He is distantly related to Carlton teammate Sam Durdin, sharing a great-great-great-grandfather.[5]
