Corey James Maynard (born 7 October 1991) is an Australian former professional sportsman who played basketball and Australian rules football. He played college basketball for Bryant University before playing professionally in the National Basketball League (NBL) for the Cairns Taipans and Townsville Crocodiles. He switched to football in 2016 to play in the Australian Football League (AFL) for the Melbourne Football Club. He retired in 2019.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Maynard moved with his family to Melbourne when he was seven. He started playing representative basketball for McKinnon Basketball Association from under 12s, leading numerous Cougar teams in the Victorian Championship (VC) division within the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) up until under 18s. He was also a loyal eight-year player of the Moorabbin Magic.

After moving back to Adelaide as a 15-year-old, Maynard enrolled at Sacred Heart College and represented South Australia Metro in the Under 20 National Championships, where he led the team to the gold medal game against Vic Metro. In 2009 and 2010, he played for the Sturt Sabres, winning team MVP honours in 2009 and a Central ABL championship in 2010.

In Year 12 at Sacred Heart College, Maynard averaged 26 points per game en route to being named MVP of the 2010 Marist National Championships.

As a freshman at Bryant in 2010–11, Maynard was a staple in the Bulldogs' lineup, appearing in 30 games and averaging 4.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22.4 minutes per game.

As a sophomore in 2011–12, Maynard vastly improved, but his development was disrupted due to an injury which forced him to miss 11 games, including the final six of the regular season. In 19 games (18 starts), he averaged 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

As a junior in 2012–13, Maynard solidified himself as a mainstay in the Bulldog starting lineup. On March 2, 2013, he made his 100th career three-pointer against Saint Francis. In 30 games (28 starts), he averaged 9.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

On 18 January 2014, Maynard scored a career-high 30 points in a 95–68 win against Fairleigh Dickinson. As a senior in 2013–14, Maynard earned third-team All-NEC honours. In 31 games, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.2 minutes per game.
