Corey Webster (born 29 November 1988) is a New Zealand professional basketball player for Ironi Nahariya of the Israeli Basketball Premier League. A three-time NBL champion with the New Zealand Breakers, Webster has had stints playing in Europe and spent the 2015 NBA preseason with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Webster attended Westlake Boys High School in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2007, he moved to the United States to attend college at Lambuth University, where he played basketball for the Eagles during the 2007–08 season, averaging 11.5 points per game as a freshman.
In 2008, Webster returned to Auckland and joined the New Zealand Breakers as a development player, spending two seasons in that role before joining the full-time roster in 2010 on a two-year contract. During this time, he also spent the off-seasons with the Harbour Heat of the New Zealand NBL.
In his first full contracted season with the Breakers in 2010–11, Webster helped the team win their first championship. He went on to play for the Wellington Saints during the 2011 New Zealand NBL season where he won his second championship in a matter of months.
In November 2011, Webster was released from the second year of his two-year contract by the Breakers due to a drug violation which forced him to sit out the 2011–12 season. He consequently missed out on the Breakers back-to-back championship run that season.
Despite his mishaps, Webster was forgiven by the Breakers as the club brought him back on a three-year deal in August 2012. He went on to be a part of the Breakers' three-peat in 2012–13. His return to the Breakers line-up was mirrored with his return to the Wellington Saints squad for the 2013 New Zealand NBL season.
