Corydon is a town in Harrison County, Indiana, United States. The population was 2,715 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Harrison County.

Corydon became the second territorial capital of Indiana in 1813, when it was moved there from Vincennes. The future U.S. President, William Henry Harrison, lived for a time in Corydon. The state constitution was drawn up in Corydon on June 10, 1816. The 43 delegates in charge of writing the state's constitution met inside the Harrison County Courthouse. Because of the summer heat and the cramped nature of the courthouse, the delegates would often seek refuge outside under a giant elm tree. This tree is now known as the Constitutional Elm tree, and its trunk is still preserved. The town served as the first state capital of Indiana from 1816 to 1825, when the capital moved to Indianapolis. The Old Capitol Building is now a state historic site.

Corydon is located at 38.212724, -86.125318.
