O Cornerback (CB) (também chamado de corner) é um jogador de secundária ou também defensive back field do futebol americano dos Estados Unidos e do Canadá. Cornerbacks são responsável por cobrir os receivers, e também defendem contra corridas, fazem os tackles e também podem atacar o quarterback adversário junto com outros membros do defensive backfield incluindo os safeties e os linebackers. A posição de cornerback requer velocidade e agilidade. Um bom cornerback tem que ser rápido em adivinhar o que o quarterback adversário fará e saber ler bem a rota dos recebedores, ficando na defesa single (marcação mano-a-mano) e na zone coverage (defesa zona), atrapalhando as rotas dos recebedores tentando intercepta-lo, e também servindo no bloqueio e fazendo, é claro, os tackles.
