The Corporation is an independent nightclub and venue located in city centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Originally based in the north of the city centre, on Bank Street near Castle Market, it moved to a nightclub previously known as the Unit in the early 2000s, which is located in the Devonshire Quarter and is on Milton Street.
The club is known for playing a variety of rock music, although it also hosts nights such as 'skool disco' which is predominantly indie and 90's pop music. Live acts are viewed before the club nights begin which are housed in one of the two ground floor spaces.

The club is one of the major rock and alternative clubs in England and rivals the multiplicity of Rock City in Nottingham as both a rock club and live venue.
