Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (n. 12 iunie 1941, Chelsea, Massachusetts, S.U.A) este un muzician american.

A câștigat în numeroase rânduri premiul Grammy la secțiunile pianist/keyboardist și compozitor de jazz american. A ajuns foarte cunoscut prin activitatea lui din anii '70, promovând stilul jazz fusion sau jazz-rock cum era denumit la vremea respectivă. Se poate spune că a contribuit direct la nașterea acestui stil de jazz. A făcut parte din celebra trupă ˝Miles Davis Band˝ luând parte la legendarele înregistrări ale lui Miles Davis de la sfârșitul anilor '60, începutul anilor '70. În anii '70 și-a format propriul grup de jazz ˝Return to Forever˝, grup cu care a continuat să exploreze sonoritățile fusion.

În anii 80' și '90 a avut numeroase alte colaborări explorând variate stiluri musicale.

În 2010 a fost numit doctor honoris causa al Universității tehnico-științifice a Norvegiei (NTNU) din Trondheim.
