The Toyota Corolla is a compact car produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota, which has become very popular throughout the world since the nameplate was first introduced in 1966. In 1997, the Corolla became the best selling model in the world, with over 30 million sold as of 2007. Over the past 40 years, one Toyota Corolla car has been sold on average every 40 seconds. However, it has undergone several total redesigns. The modern Corolla shares only the name with the first generation car. Well over 21 million units of the Volkswagen Beetle, on the other hand, were sold between 1938 and 2003, with very little change to the mechanics or appearance of the car, making it the true best selling single model of all time.

The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using the name Crown for their primary models, e.g. the Corona, which is Latin for crown, or the Corolla, which is Latin for small crown and Camry which is an Anglicized pronunciation of the Japanese term "kan-muri" meaning "small crown". One of Toyota's first cars sold in the U.S was also called the Toyopet Tiara.

Corollas are currently manufactured in Japan, the United States (Fremont, California), the United Kingdom (Derbyshire), Canada (Cambridge, Ontario), Malaysia, China (Tianjin), Taiwan, South Africa, Brazil, Turkey, Philippines, Thailand, Venezuela, and India.

The Corolla's chassis designation code is "E", as described in Toyota's chassis and engine codes.
