Laurence "Lar" Corbett (born 16 March 1981) is an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Tipperary senior team from 2000 until 2015.
Born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Corbett first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Thurles CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of nineteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary senior team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2000 South East League. Corbett subsequently became a regular member of the team and has won two All-Ireland medals, six Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions Corbett has won two Railway Cup medals. At club level he is a one-time Munster medallist with Thurles Sarsfields. In addition to this he has also won five championship medals.
Corbett's career tally of 29 goals and 80 points ranks him as Tipperary's all-time top goal scorer.
Throughout his career Corbett has made 61 championship appearances. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 6 February 2012, however, he reversed his decision three months later before eventually retiring in 2015.
Corbett is widely regarded as one of the most prolific goal scorers of his era. He has won three All-Star awards as well as making a clean sweep of the three titles in 2010.
After much success at underage levels, including minor and under-21 championship medals, Corbett subsequently became a regular member of the Thurles Sarsfields senior team.
