Korydallos (Greek: Κορυδαλλός, Latin: Corydallus) is a municipality in the Piraeus regional unit, Greece. It is a western suburb of Piraeus. It is the home of the Korydallos prisons. It sits on a mountain in the west named Aegaleo. It is located W of Athens, N of Piraeus and S of GR-8/E55 and Athinon Avenue.
It was founded in ancient times, and was one of the 100 municipalities in ancient Attica at the end of the 6th century BC. Theophilos Corydalleus (1563–1646) was a philosopher who lived in Corydallos. 200 years later, Korydallos was known as Koutsoukari from the property owner of the greater area, Emmanouil Koutsikaris. After that it was renamed into Pachy or Pachi or Pahi from the next owner (Pachinas). In 1923, the region was renamed back into its ancient name, Korydallos. The population in 1928 was 2,500. In 1934, Korydallos became an autonomous commune until 1946 when it became a municipality and a city. The city now boasts a population of 60,000.
