Edwin Wilkie "Ted" Corboy (24 August 1896 – 6 August 1950) was an Australian politician and public servant. He was a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and served in the House of Representatives from 1918 to 1919, representing the Western Australian seat of Swan. Corboy was elected to federal parliament at the age of 22, setting a record for the youngest member of parliament which stood until 2010. He was defeated after a single term, but subsequently served in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly from 1921 to 1933.
