Derek Richard Corrigan is a Canadian politician and the former longtime mayor of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

Corrigan is a graduate of Vancouver's Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School and studied political science and philosophy at the University of British Columbia.

He then obtained his law degree from the same university in 1977 and joined the Bar of British Columbia in 1978.

Corrigan's loss is credited to his stance on affordable housing and the rapid rate of renters being evicted in favour of condo development.
