CoroCoro Comic is a Japanese monthly manga magazine published by Shogakukan, established on May 15, 1977. Its main target is elementary school-aged boys, younger than the readers of shōnen manga.

Several of its properties, like Doraemon and the Pokémon series of games, have gone on to be cultural phenomena in Japan.

CoroCoro Comic sold 400 million copies as of April 2017, making it one of the best-selling comic/manga magazines. The magazine has three sisters: Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic, CoroCoro Ichiban! and CoroCoro Aniki.
