Annette Corcoran (born 1930) is an American artist who was born in Inglewood, California.

Although originally functional, they evolved into non-functional works of art.Anhinga, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is typical of her teapots, which usually incorporate birds into the design. It is made of hand-built porcelain, employing both underglazes and overglazes.
