Corowa, town, New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the Murray River. Immediately opposite Corowa, across the Murray, in Victoria, is the twin town of Wahgunyah.

The town lies just off the Murray Valley and Riverina highways and has air and rail connections with Sydney (about 310 miles [500 km] northeast) and Melbourne (about 150 miles [240 km] south-southwest). Corowa was proclaimed a town in 1885; it became a shire in 1955 and a municipality in 1963. Pop. (2006) urban centre, 5,628; (2011) urban centre, 5,450.
